In the meantime, I ask Mr. Fenn and Ms Campbell in particular to make it very clear to their members, in particular the ones who are abusing the situation - they know who they are - that this is not acceptable. Within the Irish Hotels Federation, IHF, action has to be taken. The vast majority of people are doing the right thing and are working in very difficult circumstances, coming out of an extremely difficult time, but that change has to happen as well. Just because someone can charge does not mean they should charge. The damage is going to be accrued by all of us. I believe that is something the Irish Hotels Federation can do arising out of today. Again, it only takes a small few to upset everything. What is going on cannot continue because it is going to destroy Irish tourism.
