Impact of Covid-19 on the Tourism Sector: Discussion
Mr. Paul Kelly:
I confirm for Deputy Mythen that there is a Wexford destination recovery task force. Obviously, not all the tourism businesses will be able to be involved in it but it is about the leadership between Fáilte Ireland and Tom Enright's team in Wexford County Council. As a Castlebridge man I was never going to not have a recovery task force and that is under way.
In terms of the support for the hotels, which another Deputy mentioned, there are a number of major issues. The Covid restrictions support scheme, CRSS, at level 3 is essential to allow hotels get sorted. I could speak for a long time about all the various challenges the industry is facing but we might come back to that when answering other questions.
