IRELAND’S DRINKS AND HOSPITALITY SECTOR AND YOUR CONSTITUENCY2

COMMENTARY ON FINDINGS BY DIGI

Ireland is home to 7,193 public houses, 2,406 licensed restaurants, 3,161 off-

licences, 983 licensed hotels (including similar venues with licensed bars),

98 producers and 483 wholesalers in the drinks and hospitality sector.

The sector generates a national wage bill of €2.9 billion, purchases €5.7 billion of materials

and services inputs, and supports tourism expenditure of €6.4 billion in the sector.

These findings are among those detailed in a new report ‘Hospitality Sector Related

Employment in Dáil Constituencies and Counties’, from which this summary report has

been developed. The detailed report was commissioned by the Drinks Industry Group of

Ireland (DIGI) and authored by economist Anthony Foley of Dublin City University, which

examines the economic, social and cultural contribution of the drinks and hospitality

sector across Ireland. This sector plays a vital role in Ireland, one that is most keenly and

strongly felt in our rural communities.

Every constituency and county benefits in terms of employment, tourism and economic

value. 92,000 people work in the drinks industry alone, as proprietors and employees of

pubs, off-licences, manufacturers and other hospitality businesses. In total, the combined

hospitality sector - including pubs, restaurants, hotels, independent off-licences, and sector

producers, retailers and distributors - employs almost 210,000 people across the country,

making up 10 percent of all jobs, and exports over €1.25 billion worth of produce.

Despite its importance to the economy, the sector has experienced difficult years.

Austerity-era excise increases are a persistent heavy tax burden on a sector that

contributes significantly to the Exchequer. Ireland currently has the second highest excise

rates on alcohol in the European Union. Excise tax is a direct tax on rural Ireland, on jobs,

on tourism and on consumers, and it undermines Ireland’s international competitiveness

and attractiveness.

Although tourism numbers remain strong, we have seen a sharp decline in British visitors of

around 6.5%, compared to the same period in 2016, following Brexit. This is a concerning

trend for the sector - over 40% of our overseas visitors originate from the UK.

As we take on the serious and uncertain consequences of Brexit, the Government must

ensure that the sector is supported. We need to ensure that our indigenous industries, and

rural Ireland with them, are advantaged to the greatest degree possible.

Ireland’s high excise tax risks jobs, risks damaging our tourism product and represents a

cost to consumers.

DIGI, through the Support Your Local campaign, believes that the Government should

reduce excise tax to support jobs and tourism. As we take on the serious and uncertain

consequences of Brexit, Government must ensure that the drinks and hospitality sector,

and rural Ireland with it, are advantaged to the greatest degree possible.

ABOUT DIGI

IRELAND’S DRINKS AND HOSPITALITY SECTOR AND YOUR CONSTITUENCY 3

The Drinks Industry Group of Ireland (DIGI) is the umbrella organisation for the drinks industry

in Ireland. DIGI’s membership spans brewers, distillers, distributors and the retail sectors

(both the on-trade – pubs, hotels, restaurants – and the independent off-licence sector).

Its members include:

• Alcohol Beverage Federation of Ireland

• Irish Hotels Federation

• Licensed Vintners Association

• National Off-Licence Association

• Restaurants Association of Ireland

• Vintners Federation of Ireland

Almost 92,000 jobs across the country are dependent on the drinks industry alone. It buys

over €1.1bn of Irish produce annually, exports goods worth over €1.25bn, and provides to

the state over €2.3bn worth of excise and VAT income, as well as hundreds of millions in

income tax, PRSI receipts and tax on profits every year. It is also a vital element of Ireland’s

wider hospitality sector and internationally renowned tourism offering.

DIGI, through its Support Your Local campaign, seeks to highlight the significant financial

and social contribution made by the drinks industry, and work with stakeholders to create

conditions that ensure the industry’s stability and continued growth.

ABOUT EXCISE TAX AND VAT

In Ireland, alcohol is subject to two types of expenditure tax: excise and VAT.

Excise is a specific tax levied per unit of alcohol in a drink. It is not affected by the retail

price of the product, so the same quantity of a particular drink will have the same excise

tax regardless of where it is sold.

VAT is charged as a percentage of a good or service’s selling value or price. Ireland’s rate

of VAT is currently 23 percent. A rate of 9 percent is charged on certain goods and

services, including food and drink (but excluding alcohol).

Ireland’s excise tax is very high, meaning alcohol is more expensive here than in many

other EU countries. As the price of alcohol increases, the absolute amount of VAT increases

with it.


SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS

The following chapter outlines the findings from Hospitality Sector Related

Employment in Dáil Constituencies and Counties 2016, a report authored by

economist Anthony Foley from Dublin City University and commissioned by

DIGI.

Ireland is home to 7,193 public houses, 2,406 licensed restaurants, 3,161 off-licences, 983

licensed hotels (including similar venues with licensed bars), 98 producers, and 483

wholesalers in the drinks and hospitality sector.

The sector supports almost 210,000 jobs and pays a national wage bill of €2.9 billion. It

purchases €5.7 billion of materials and services inputs, with tourism expenditure of €6.4

billion attributed to the sector.

The key messages emerging from the report are:

1. The drinks and hospitality sector is a key driver of economic activity in

Ireland.

2. This economic impact is not confined to cities but is delivered in every

constituency in the country.

3. The sector must be supported for it to continue to grow and prosper.

SUMMARY OF METHODOLOGY

IRELAND’S DRINKS AND HOSPITALITY SECTOR AND YOUR CONSTITUENCY

The following chapter outlines a summary of the methodologies used to

generate the national and constituency numbers utilised in this summary

report. A more full and detailed explanation of the methodology used in this

summary report and the detailed report is available from the DIGI website

at www.drinksindustry.ie

The number of pubs (including bars) by county was identified from the individual licence

database from Revenue. This data was retained from the 2016 report. Where

constituencies are composed of more than one county, county figured are added

together. Where constituencies are less than a county, the number of pubs was allocated

between constituencies on a population basis.

47

Number of Pubs

The number of hotels refers to the number of hotels with a licensed bar only and figures

were identified from the individual licence database from Revenue. This data was retained

from the 2016 report. Where constituencies are composed of more than one county,

county figures are added together. Where constituencies are less than a county, the

number of hotels (with a licensed bar) was allocated between constituencies on a

population basis.

Number of Hotels

Number of Restaurants

The number of restaurants refers to the number of restaurants with a full-licence or wine-

licence only and figures were identified from the individual licence database from

Revenue. This data was retained from the 2016 report. Where constituencies are

composed of more than one county, county figured are added together. Where

constituencies are less than a county, the number of restaurants (with a full-licence or

wine-licence) was allocated between constituencies on a population basis.


The number of off-licences refers to the number of off-licences with a full-licence or wine-

licence and figures were identified from the individual licence database from Revenue.

This data was retained from the 2016 report. Where constituencies are composed of more

than one county, county figures are added together. Where constituencies are less than a

county, the number of off-licences with a full-licence or a wine-licence was allocated

between constituencies on a population basis.

Number of Off-Licences

The number of producers refers to the number of producers with licences for brewing,

cider manufacturing, distilling, compounding of spirits and rectifying of spirits; figures were

identified from the individual licence database from Revenue. In addition, further details

were identified from a variety of sources, trade directories, industry association

memberships and discussions with industry representatives. This data was retained from the

2016 report. Where constituencies are composed of more than one county, county figures

are added together. Where constituencies are less than a county, the number of

producers was kept at a county level and this is noted in the relevant constituency profiles.

Number of Producers

This refers to purchases of milk and barley by the drinks sector in the various constituencies

and does not include additional output used by the wider hospitality and tourism sector in

the form of direct or indirect purchases. Domestic sourced volumes are assumed to be

unchanged from the previous year’s report but milk prices per litre are assumed to fall from

28c to 26c, and barley prices per tonne fall from €170 to €155. The apportionment of milk

and barley purchases follows the methodology of the previous constituency reports.

Agri Output for the Drinks Sector

This refers to the number of jobs derived directly from the drinks and hospitality sectors, or

created indirectly or as a multiplier effect. The numbers used nationally and per

constituency are derived from analysis of the CSO employment data for NACE 55 and 56

standards -- accommodation and food and beverages services (including bars), as well as

Fáilte Ireland measures of employment in tourism and hospitality.

Number of Jobs

The wages contribution of hospitality employment is based on the CSO earnings data

which shows an average annual wage per employee (excluding proprietors and not

adjusting for part-timers) but applied to the total hospitality employment (including

proprietors).

Wages Paid

ABOUT DIGI

The tourism spend refers to non-ordinary hospitality spend by overseas visitors and

domestic trips of at least one night, as defined by the CSO and Fáilte Ireland.

Consequently, domestic tourist day trips and domestic day-to-day spend (e.g. eating out)

are excluded. Thus tourism spend in this report follows that definition.
