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. This sector is a major employer in our country. While budget 2023 went down really well and was a very positive budget, this was the one unanswered question. People are looking for certainty. The 12,500 people in County Clare working in this sector contribute €250 million per annum. Certainty would be appreciated. Is it true the Taoiseach will visit University Hospital Limerick, UHL, on Friday?
