Question 275: To ask the Minister for Finance if he has given further consideration to the area of VAT refunds on conferences held in hotels here as is a practice in many other countries; and his views on whether this would allow Ireland to play on a level playing field; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy will be aware from recent replies to similar questions on this issue, I want to make sure any such relief can work and does not open up the VAT system to other very costly demands. The examination of the matter is ongoing and I will consider it in the context of next year's Budget.
