Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Adrian Cummins:

No. This goes back to my original point. Pubs and restaurants are vital here. Restaurants employ about 65,000 to 70,000 people, while pubs employ about 50,000 of the 220,0000 or 230,000 who were working in tourism and hospitality before Covid. We are a vital cog in this and there needs to be some sort of joining of the remits in order that we will all be treated equally in future. It is all about equality and about all these businesses being treated equally in the area of Government policy.
