Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht

Impact of Covid-19 on the Hospitality Sector: Discussion

Mr. Mark McGowan:

I thank the Deputy. One of the biggest burdens for most of our members is rent. Approximately 80% of our members are really struggling at the moment and that is why it is so important we receive a doubling of the CRSS payment. It is vital to ensuring viability in the overall restaurant sector. Although 20% are left over, it is as important to ensure they can pay their mortgages as well.
