⛽CSNA Fuel Drive Off Survey⛽

Members with forecourt facilities understand fuel drive offs are no longer an occasional inconvenience. They're a growing threat to fuel retailers across Ireland costing the industry millions each year.

100% of our survey participants, all forecourt retailers have experienced a drive off in the past 3 months!

Today, The National Lottery has introduced TLC: Think, Look, Check, a new initiative aimed at promoting responsible play and enhancing age verification practices throughout their retail network.

Through new retailer materials and mandatory training, TLC helps ensure National Lottery products are sold responsibly and only to those aged 18 and over.

We are delighted to have taken part in the launch of this important campaign. Our National President, Sara Orme, was present at the event, and we remain committed to supporting and promoting responsible play within our members' stores.

Protecting young people from underage play remains a key priority of The National Lottery, and TLC is another important step in supporting retailers to uphold the highest standards of responsible play.

After extensive discussions and representation from CSNA on behalf of our members with the Principal EHO in the To***co Control Office regarding payment methods for the to***co licence, we are pleased to announce that starting July 1st, retailers will have the option to pay for their to***co and va**ng licences via EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) in addition to the previously available credit card option.

The current VAT rate of 13.5% for eligible hospitality and tourism categories will revert to 9%. Any departments and products currently set at 13.5% that fall under this change must be updated in your EPOS system prior to trading on July 1.
