Louth TD Ged Nash has urged the government to release data justifying a proposed €632 million VAT cut for the hospitality sector. He argues that transparent, evidence-based policymaking is essential, especially when significant taxpayer money is involved. Nash criticizes the delay in data publication and suggests that the government’s case for the VAT cut is weak. He emphasizes the need for fiscal responsibility and warns that such a decision could limit tax relief for working people, prioritizing large businesses over addressing issues like child poverty. Nash also highlights the potential long-term cost of the VAT cut and challenges other political parties to consider the implications.
