Text
Minister, as we move towards July and the further lowering of the VAT rate for food and hospitality in the Republic of Ireland, the hospitality sector is looking at changing its operating models to address what it sees as a situation that is almost perilous to the operation of its businesses. How will you monitor the impact that that will have on businesses in the short, medium and long term, and what steps can the Department take to assist those businesses?
