The head of the hotel warns the tourist tax plan for the mayor’s head, “will make Limrick less attractive”

Mayor John Moran defended his proposal by bringing a local tourist tax, saying: “We cannot repair or operate Limrick without revenue.”

He says that he may bring a paper to the Economic Policy Committee of the Local Authority to conduct a discussion on this procedure.

The mayor of the municipality sought to give the government to provide small fees for people who are pushing to stay in the city.

These taxes are common in many major cities around the world, with another hotel, hostel or residence provider that collects money from its customers.

But Dermot Kelly from the Shannon branch in the Irish Hotels Union, and the commercial manager at the Great National Court, warned against the passage of people who pass when Ireland’s visit.

“It will make Limrick less attractive,” he said.

Mayor Moran confirmed that it is “premature” to talk about taxes on tourists.

“Nobody likes to pay taxes. The correct discussion is, what will we use in money, and how much will we benefit?

The first citizen does not believe that adding small fees to the hotel residences will deter tourists from visiting the city.

“If it is from 50 ° C to 1 euros, less than the price of a cup of coffee, do I really think it will prevent me from going to a city? Not at all. I know I will understand when I do it, this will help me pay the price of the facilities when I see museums and other amenities to make my time fun when I visit.”

He confessed to any “negative” tax.

“But we cannot fix or operate Limerick without obtaining revenues. It is a state of revenue just.

Mr. Kelly says that the hotel industry in Limrick and across Ireland already provides a major contribution to the treasury.

“We pay very high levels of prices and commercial fees to finance local authority services. Twenty -nine percent of each euro spends on taxes. This is closer to 3 billion euros than government taxes every year. We already see a lot of food enlargement. We see a lot of costs in costs, and we do not need this too.”

“Tourists will search for other destinations, or they may try to stay outside Limrick. Tourism generates 10 billion euros annually for the economy. It’s one of the largest indigenous employers in the state,” the hotel president pointed out.

Mr. Kelly also believes that the additional tax will be unfair in downtown hotels, which often needs car parking cost factors at the night rate of guests.

The case arose after Mayor Moran wrote to the Minister of Foundation, Peter Burke, asking the government to consider this procedure.

Outside of this, four advisers of the Fine Metropolitan County Consultant issued a statement in opposing the plan.
