If accommodation in Drogheda has reduced by 61% and we are left with only 91 tourist accommodation beds, that is a problem caused directly by Government policy. We need the Government to revitalise the town, attract investment and solve the accommodation issue that is crippling tourism in the town.

Love Drogheda BID had asked that the Government work with stakeholders in the town to fix this. It asked for the Government to establish a dedicated revitalisation task force for Drogheda that can help focus investment in the town. Will the Government form this task force? Will the Minister put every effort into sorting the crisis in tourism accommodation, which this Government actually created, for the largest town in Ireland?
