I previously raised the issue of the exorbitant prices that a substantial number of hotels were charging, predominantly in cities. Fáilte Ireland recently indicated it would write to businesses in the sector this week. As a representative body, what has the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation done about it? Given the risk of reputational damage as a confederation, I am sure it would want to be a representative organisation that offers consumers value for money. Particularly with a view to clawing back on some of that possible reputational damage for the businesses it represents, what steps has it taken?
