I am aware that I am moving away from sport but will the Minister of State give us a summary of the figures in regard to The Gathering? I have observed an increase in tourists throughout the country, particularly last weekend. Will he give a brief overview in this regard?
The reduction in the VAT rate last year seems to have had a major impact for the entire tourism and catering industry.
Its reduction was welcome. Does the Minister of State intend to maintain the reduced rate?
