‘We’re suffering’ – Business owners protest outside Leinster House over lack of Government supports
15/10/24 Hundreds of business owners and workers from the hospitality, tourism, retail and other sectors are holding a protest in Dublin… Pic Stephen Collins/Collins PhotosChef Nicole Whitaker takes part in a protest outside Leinster House to highlight the high costs facing small and medium-sized businesses. At a protest MCd by Ivan Yates, restaurateurs, pub owners, childcare and beauty salon bosses were among those who marched to Leinster House from the Pepper Canister Church today on a mission. One man warned that the only place you might end up finding an Irish pub is the Costa del Sol. It is not just the VAT rate, he said, that is an issue but a 36pc increase in payroll taxes. “It’s no longer sustainable.”Alan Murphy, owner of the Titanic Bar and Grill in Cobh, said the government is “not listening at all to us” and has the perception that hospitality businesses have a big pot of gold.

Protest to be held at Leinster House over costs faced by shops and restaurantsBy Gráinne Ní Aodha, PABusinesses from the hospitality and retail sectors will march to Leinster House on Tuesday to highlight the high costs facing small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Former minister and broadcaster Ivan Yates will speak at the demonstration, organised by the Restaurants Association of Ireland and the Vintners Federation of Ireland. “Unfortunately, the lack of support for hospitality and small businesses in Budget 2025 made this demonstration inevitable.

Chris Bates, research and analytics director at clinical software firm TPP, said his company’s technology could save the cash-strapped NHS a fortune.

Young men from a lower socio-economic background in and around cities are most likely to miss GP appointments, Bates told the Mail. A successful trial in Norfolk of the AI technology is being rolled out across the country.

Concerns about cycle parking because they might encourage people to bring more cycles into the city, encouraging more crime. Hitting back Police and Crime Commissioner Mr Barber replied: "Extraordinary that anyone would object to the police calling for crime prevention measures to STOP people becoming victims of crime! This literally says that if the plans go ahead they should be designed with crime prevention in mind. Surely everyone would want new infrastructure to come with crime prevention at its heart."
