Ms Lorna Cahill:

Can we please stop pushing the narrative that the register is so simple, so easy and will cost a nominal amount? This is what we have been told consistently but there is no mention of the planning. Fáilte Ireland is telling us that planning has nothing to do with it and is the responsibility of the Department of housing but we have no contact with that Department. I have bookings for the Ryder Cup in 2027 and the Irish Open in September 2026 and I am hoping that I get bookings for EuroPride, which is coming to Clare in 2028. I am hoping that I get bookings for those events but will I be cancelling them all and will I be left with no income after 20 May? I do not know but I need to know.
