The Department of Finance expected people to spend over €7 million per day on the stay-and-spend scheme. We now find that people are spending just €1 million per month. I want the €100 million underspend to date on the scheme to be used to underwrite a gift voucher guarantee for the tourism and hospitality sector. I hope the Minister will look positively on this proposal.
