@KeepVat9 @adriancummins And it’s started. So sorry for friend Eugene in @CopperHen, fab restaurant- Bib Gourmand

⁦@KeepVat9⁩ goes up on 1st Jan 2019 - if it’s voted through tonight - let’s see who votes against it !! 10,000 jobs at stake - West and Border most at risk - #Brexit #Budget2019

The fallout from #budget19 means that every wedding booked for next year will cost 4.5% more - That’s thousands of unhappy couples !!! @KeepVat9

#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

@KeepVat9 now changes to @reduce13.5% #budget19

#budget19 will be known as an election budget paid for by the Tourism Industry @RAI_ie @PresidentRAI @FineGael @fiannafailparty @IndepAlliance @Shane_RossTD @BGriffinTD @Paschald @campaignforleo @mmcgrathtd @MichealMartinTD

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!

#budget19 will be known as an election budget paid for by the Tourism Industry @RAI_ie @PresidentRAI

@campaignforleo 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

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
