I support what Deputy Durkan said about local authority staff. I recently met a restaurateur who had a turnover of €100,000 over the Christmas period but only made €1,000 profit despite working very hard and running a very efficient business. What is the Minister's view on returning to the 9% VAT rate for restaurants and the hospitality sector?
