Mr. Mark McGowan:

The stay and spend scheme was not fit for purpose. I run a hotel, a restaurant and a pub. There was zero take-up on it. When people came in they did not know what to do with it. The best approach would be to ensure that the business could get the voucher back at the source. There would be more take-up on it that way. It would also be of huge benefit if the technology was advanced to enable the consumer to use it as source. I hope that answers the Senator's question.
