Rising Cost of Tourist Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Kelly:
Yes, we absolutely are. We are seeing towns like Youghal, Lisdoonvarna and many areas in Leitrim, Longford, and Donegal where we are seeing those high percentages of stock coming out and that leading to that kind of impact. As Mr. Fenn alluded to earlier, how important a piece of infrastructure the hotel is to a rural town is highlighted, not just for tourism but for the social fabric of the town. It was a very well-made point.
