Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Adrian Cummins:
It is a matter for each business as to whether to pass it on.
The last time there was a VAT reduction was in 2011, and those were different times, with different costs associated with businesses. We have never seen the level of cost increase we are being impacted by now, whether those are input costs, direct charges on electricity or insurance, or all of the other aspects we are laying out today.
