Ryanair again calls for tourist tax to be scrapped

Ryanair has reiterated its call for the Government to axe its €10 tourist tax in tomorrow's Budget, describing the charge as 'illegal'.

"Since the introduction of this €10 tourist tax Irish tourism has collapsed, so much so that even the Govt’s own Tourism Renewal Group recommended it is axed in order to rescue Irish tourism," the airline said in a statement.
