An extension for the 9% VAT rate was among the proposals we put forward for the industry last year. It has to be a priority to extend that into 2023.

I come back to the issue of a representative on the board of Fáilte Ireland. It is important that someone from hospitality is on that board. It was mentioned that the Department has to take on board that hospitality and tourism are together and that needs to be included in the sectors the Department looks after. I ask that that be looked on favourably.
