Congratulations to Peter Burke, TD on his appointment as Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment. We look forward to working closely with him to address the challenges facing our industry. @peterburkefg @mmag1975 @PaulGall186 ihf.ie/updates/websit…

A reduction in VAT would greatly assist many vulnerable food-led businesses that have faced an uncertain future & escalating cost challenges in recent years. It would be an important step toward putting these businesses on a more stable footing @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD

We welcome the commitment in the proposed programme for Government to support SMEs within the hospitality sector, including in relation to VAT. #Tourism #Hospitality @mmag1975 @PaulGall186 @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD hotelnews.ie/articles/2025/…

🌎✈️Our tourism industry is vital to Ireland's economy & communities. With the right policies, it will also lead on sustainability. A shared vision & support for tourism and hospitality SMEs can drive growth while tackling climate change. @Irishtourismind @RAI_ie @IHFcomms

This has been driven by economic policies pursued by the Govt, the impact of which has been particularly acute for hospitality food businesses given the labour-intensive nature of our industry. @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD

The sector is now at a cross-roads, with many businesses struggling to deal with very tight margins and reduced profitability due to ever-increasing operating costs, particularly in relation to food services. #Tourism #Hospitality @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD
