I also wish to raise the VAT increase on food supplements from 1 March, as I did last week. MacuShield is taken by many older people for macular degeneration. As my colleague said, the Taoiseach used the term "snake oil" in reference to some supplements. However, various health studies show that many supplements, including MacuShield, are of benefit to many. Will there be an exemption for certain supplements or will they all be subject to this unjust VAT increase?
