Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Ireland’s Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion

Mr. Paul Moynihan:

Some 95% of the VFI's membership are back to trading. Some 93% of pubs around the country have reopened. That is positive. There are issues in certain areas affected by the pandemic. Some publicans have decided not to reopen and there may be family issues. The current status of the trade is positive for most publicans. We are happy with where we are going. There are issues in some cities where offices are not full yet, but generally speaking, around the country, we are confident about where we are and where we are going in the future. It has bounced back well.
