Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation Dail Éireann — 2023-02-15 ============================================================ Cathal Crowe (FF), Clare I hope the Taoiseach will give some positive indication that the Government will retain the 9% VAT rate on tourism and hospitality.
