I know that. I know the Department is banging its head off a wall because once they got the extension of the VAT reduction, it was happy days, and they have certainly not passed it on to the customers, so they are under no pressure whatsoever. My question is whether other countries have taken hotels out of the reduced VAT rate and given it to other sectors in the hospitality sector. Has the Department ever advocated for a similar thing, given the price gouging and the rip-off that is going on? Did it advocate that with the Minister, and when and where?
