- The Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce supports a reduced VAT rate in the hospitality sector.
- The VAT rate was increased to 13.5% but was previously 9% during the pandemic.
- Killarney is experiencing a loss of accommodation, staffing issues, inflation, and fewer people on the streets.
- The chamber suggests reinstating the 9% VAT rate, breaks in commercial rates, training opportunities for staff, and phased repayment of warehoused debt.
- The Cathaoirleach of the Killarney MD agrees that more needs to be done.
