Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
400. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider introducing tax relief for those who have full-time jobs but who also wish to work part-time in hospitality in order to alleviate the problem in attracting staff into the hospitality sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI understand the rationale behind the Deputy's question. However, the hospitality sector is not the only sector that is currently facing recruitment challenges in what is thankfully a very buoyant labour market. As such, it would in my view be potentially inequitable to single out one sector for particular treatment through the personal tax system.
