Nothing short of a disastrous December awaits our hotels sector if media reports on restrictions are correct. This can and should be avoided. Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Eamon Ryan mmcgrathtd Paschal Donohoe Catherine Martin @DonnellyStephen Elaina Fitzgerald Kane ihf.ie/uploads-2020/2…

We're urging Govt to reopen hotels and allow people to travel outside their county from beginning of December Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Eamon Ryan Catherine Martin Paschal Donohoe mmcgrathtd @DonnellyStephen Elaina Fitzgerald Kane #StaySafe #SaveChristmas irishexaminer.com/business/econo…

We’re calling for a more balanced approach to travel rules in December #StaySafe #SaveChristmas Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Eamon Ryan Catherine Martin mmcgrathtd Paschal Donohoe @DonnellyStephen Elaina Fitzgerald Kane rte.ie/news/business/…

The restrictions on travel outside your county & no weddings or parties means hospitality business is down between 75% to 100% this December. Many hotels have not reopened as it is not viable to trade. The CRSS needs to remain. Catherine Martin mmcgrathtd Leo Varadkar Irish Hotels Federation

Limiting options for people looking for a safe place to stay & dine makes no sense at all. Govt should allow hotels remain open as part of a more targeted approach. Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Catherine Martin Elaina Fitzgerald Kane IHF Statement 👉 ihf.ie/uploads-2020/m…

Govt lock-down proposals are very short-sighted. Hotels should remain open as key part of a controlled and safe response to Covid #StaySafe Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Catherine Martin Eamon Ryan Elaina Fitzgerald Kane ihf.ie/uploads-2020/m…

Govt must now step up to the mark - supports for hotels sector are wholly inadequate in the face of an extended lockdown #TourismJobsCount Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Catherine Martin Eamon Ryan Paschal Donohoe mmcgrathtd Elaina Fitzgerald Kane

Additional supports urgently required to help tourism & hospitality businesses survive until society reopens #TourismJobsCount Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Catherine Martin Eamon Ryan Paschal Donohoe mmcgrathtd Elaina Fitzgerald Kane rte.ie/news/business/…

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on tourism, but it can recover with pro-tourism Govt. supports in #Budget22. #TourismJobsCount Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Paschal Donohoe mmcgrathtd Catherine Martin

We welcome the additional supports announced by Govt today, including enhanced CRSS business payments & extended EWSS employment supports #TourismJobsCount Elaina Fitzgerald Kane Micheál Martin Leo Varadkar Eamon Ryan Catherine Martin Paschal Donohoe mmcgrathtd ihf.ie/updates/media_…

Cork hotels urge Government to retain 9% tourism VAT, with 66% of people saying the current rate should be extended for hotels & restaurants according to new poll. Cork IHF Simon Coveney Micheál Martin mmcgrathtd Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

What possible justification could there be for the Govt to increase Ireland's tourism VAT rate, making it the 3rd highest in Europe? @KieranCuddihy NewstalkFM Simon Coveney Paschal Donohoe mmcgrathtd Catherine Martin Leo Varadkar Micheál Martin newstalk.com/news/vat-rise-…

A 13.5% tourism VAT rate would see people paying an additional €400m a year in taxes on everything from the price of a cup of coffee, to a meal out, a stay in a hotel and the cost of a wedding Simon Coveney Paschal Donohoe mmcgrathtd Catherine Martin Leo Varadkar Micheál Martin
