> It says that measures including the move to a living wage, PRSI increases and pension auto-enrolment are all putting “significant pressure” on the sector.
Paying your employees the same as other companies must is “significant pressure”. Lads, maybe you’re just not cut out for this hotel lark.
It’s truly difficult to comprehend the incompetence behind allowing a country with one of the highest hotel costs in the world, due to a serious shortage of hotel beds, to accommodate refugees at a premium paid by the state.
At times over the past 24 hours I felt like the critisim of Leo was a bit harsh until I realise I’m sitting in my mas spare room at 30 earning more money than either of my parents ever have and see something like this. Holly Cairns was dead right.
A failed state
This number seems wayy off…like add another 20%
Start deporting failed applicants more aggressively!
Welfare cheats cheat us all
Stealing your tax money to enrich hotel owners
Our government are destroying this country on purpose.
How can ANYONE argue in good faith for what they’ve done?
This is absolute insanity.
Ita funny that whenever someone said anything about this 2 years ago , they were shouted down as being racist. I’ve family from lisdoonvarna, and the 2 hotels in the town are taken over by Syrians and Ukrainians. There’s more refugees than locals, and from talking to my cousins, people are sick of it now . Although the hoteliers are laughing all the way to the bank .

Feels like a lot more than 20%
Thanks Leo
FFG, using your tax money against you and to benefit their pals
Aren’t the accommodation providers making a lot more more money now that the state is booking them out for a full year? Those rooms would be sitting empty for most of the year.
Are there any available figures for how much this is costing the state?
>A new Irish Tourism Industry Confederation (ITIC) … says that measures including *the move to a living wage, PRSI increases and pension auto-enrolment are all putting “significant pressure” on the sector*.
Do they really expect us to take pity on them for being forced to pay their employees fairly?
Hotel owners have become millionaires overnight from these refugee contracts – half of the money their getting would be loads – more disregard for tax payers money by government
If we take the current situation out of the equation, how many of these hotels where actually being used and not on their way of going bust.
Extortionate prices for years, gouging on concert days and overall cheaper to go abroad than staycation.
They’ve been taking the piss for years and are now getting a golden handshake instead of going to the wall.
These types of towns should be leaning on their local TDs to actually rejuvenate the town through investments, improved road and transport options like trains, cycleway, greenways.
Anything outside Dublin seems to be written off.
Theres a housing crises caused in part by air bnb and institutional landlords.
Hotels are being filled with immigrants because wealthy hotel owners are making a fortune.
And property developers are speculating on high end commercial properties.
And yet some people still think its poor people fleeing wars fault 😂
Surely the decimated local businesses can use the ‘international obligations’ excuse when their bills roll in just the same …
How does the government not understand that if you place mostly economic migrants into hotels, other economic migrants outside the country will look at that and think, “Hey, I can illegally enter Ireland, burn my passport and then be put up in a four star hotel, time to emigrate.”
