Ms Angela Dorgan:

I would be happy to take one of those questions. There has been a very open and positive conversation with the Department. I will let my colleagues talk about VAT because they have been briefed on it much better. It would be really useful to immediately set up a cross-departmental task force like the one called for in the report of the Arts Council of Ireland. It would allow this sector to contribute to the July stimulus package. We all want to see the Covid-19 pandemic unemployment payment extended. A conversation about VAT as part of that stimulus package will be essential for both our sector and the wider tourism and hospitality sectors.
