Ms Karla Piner:

It is absolutely not. Again, I have gone back to the planners in County Meath. I am fortunate I can actually speak to the planners in County Meath because in some local authorities you cannot speak to a planner. That information the Department of tourism gave was inaccurate. You are back to square one, getting in an environmental engineer, an architect and a surveyor. It is a big, costly application and we are all being lumped into the one basket here. That is what is unfair about the system. As I mentioned in my opening statement, I have bookings from Americans - they book at least a year in advance - and I have bookings from now until next October. On 20 May 2026, what happens to those bookings? Those people will not come and have their holidays because I will be gone from the platforms. I cannot advertise.
