Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Tourism Industry: Discussion
11:25 am
Mr. Stephen McNally:
You are correct, Chairman, about the point on developers. There is no doubt many hotels were built for tax reasons. Developers were not terribly worried about the hotels as the other businesses were still running well at the time. Suddenly, when everything came to a halt they had to reverse position and become hoteliers. You are right that many of them have not succeeded.
