Ireland has one of the most impressive restaurant industries in the world, but if we want it to stay that way, we have to get behind traders to keep them in business - @LucindasIreland https://t.co/DXUkz6OeG1

Flying visit to Boston coming up... what one thing would you recommend I see or do? Happy of course to have bars or restaurants be that thing! #VisitBoston 📸 Kyle Klein
My hotel review of @SheenFalls is online (and in Saturday's @IndoWeekend). It's got work-ons, but I've not felt it click like this before, and prices are about half that of iconic resorts like Adare Manor and Ashford Castle... worth a look! https://t.co/JgcTu208TN #kerry

🚨Update
Minister @nealerichmond speaking in the Dáil yesterday evening: ‘I fully agree with you that [the return of the 9% VAT rate for food-based businesses] should be looked at’
It is very welcome to see that, following a meeting with the Restaurants Association of Ireland on Wednesday, Ministers Simon Coveney and Richmond seem to now have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges currently facing our industry and the urgent need for the 9% VAT rate to be reinstated for food-led businesses.
The hospitality industry is not uniform. Small, independent restaurants and cafés across the country face some of the highest labour costs and smallest margins of any sector and should not be subject to the same VAT rate as accommodation providers that are experiencing sky-high profits.
