Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Ireland’s Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion
Mr. Paul Clancy:
There was a question about footfall during the week, particularly in towns with students. We have found, after Covid, that the hospitality and pub trade is focused on events. Publicans have to work much harder to get the footfall during the week than they do at the weekends, when there is a lot of natural footfall from students. They are working much harder to try to attract people into businesses to increase footfall, when it may have happened naturally in the past.
