#Budget2019 NOT PRO SMALL BUSINESS!An increase of 4.5% n VAT will have a disastrous effect on hospitality sector n rural #WestCork the government have NO understanding of running a business n rural Irel @C103Cork @SouthernStarIRL @jimdalytd @Paschald @KeepVat9 @rtenews #disgrace
Minister @Paschald says "in a new economic reality where the economy is strong, growth is broadly balanced and full employment is within sight, it is appropriate to increase the rate of VAT in the tourism sector to 13.5% from January 2019". #budget2019 xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1yNxaXZDd…

If Government ignores the pleas of the hospitality industry to #KeepVat9 in #Budget19 it will result in mass job loss accross the country, but particularly in vulnerable rural regions!

Vat increased for restaurants is so short sighted. Say goodbye to a lot a lot of Independent local cafes and restaurants. Say hello to more generic chains. This does nothing for Irish food. @KeepVat9 #Food #ireland – at Galway, Ireland

The hospitality industry has created both direct and indirect employment since the introduction of the 9% VAT rate. These figures cannot be ignored in #Budget2019 #KeepVat9 @TonyMcLTD @willieodeaLIVE @EndaKennyTD @josephamadigan @NoonanLive @BrendanSmithTD @BreathnachLouth

The 9% VAT rate has allowed Ireland's tourism and hospitality industry to grow. This progress will be completely undone should the VAT rate skyrocket to 13.5% in #Budget2019 #KeepVat9 @McConalogue @ciarancannon @brophytalks @Damien_English @daracalleary @DaraMurphyFG
Just 1 more day until #Budget19 is announced. The 9% VAT rate is what is appropriate for the hospitality industry and MUST be retained! #KeepVat9 @SenThomasByrne @ThomasPringleTD @timmydooley @VoteTomNeville @TommyBroughanTD @TonyMcLTD @willieodeaLIVE @EndaKennyTD @josephamadigan
