'The cheapest hotel in Dublin tonight is €240' - Businesses say VAT hike will ensure tourists stay away, and call on Ross to resign

10 Oct 2018  |  www.independent.ie  |  English  |  Economic Impact

The Irish Government's decision to increase VAT from 9% to 13.5% has sparked significant concern among businesses in the tourism sector. Stakeholders, including Adrian Cummins of the Restaurants Association of Ireland and Pat McDonagh of Supermac's, argue that the hike will lead to job losses and deter tourists. The sentiment is largely negative, with calls for Minister Shane Ross to resign. The increase is seen as particularly harmful given the looming uncertainty of Brexit. While Fáilte Ireland acknowledges the challenges, it remains optimistic about long-term growth. The overall reaction from the industry is one of disappointment and concern over the economic impact.

30 Sept 2021  |  www.cricbuzz.com  |  English  |  Indian Premier League

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have seen a resurgence in the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, largely due to their effective middle-overs bowling. Despite initial setbacks, including COVID-19 cases and a poor start, KKR's bowlers, particularly spinners Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine, have played a crucial role in restricting opponents and setting up victories. The team's improved performance has been complemented by strategic changes and contributions from key players like Lockie Ferguson and Venkatesh Iyer. This turnaround has significantly boosted KKR's chances of making the playoffs.
