A Donegal councillor says a proposal to increase the VAT rate should come in only for Dublin.
The Government is proposing to increase the VAT rate from 9% to 13.5% for businesses selling accommodation.
Councillor Micheal Naughton says Donegal and the north west cannot be compared to Dublin, which is experiencing a huge boost in tourism revenue.
And he says any increase in the northwest would represent another attack on rural Ireland.
