Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion
3:20 pm
Mr. Padraig Cribben:
One is never confident about a budget measure until the day after the budget, but we are engaged with the relevant people in respect of that. We believe it should be maintained. It has contributed significantly to job creation and to ensuring a good offering for our tourists. The tourist trade is increasing and we must ensure we continue in that vein. We are continuing to engage with the relevant Departments. As to whether we are confident, we are certainly not complacent.
