Tourism Industry Leaders Write Open Letter On Short Term Lets To Taoiseach

A coalition of concerned stakeholders within the tourism industry have written to the Taoiseach, to express their concerns over rural tourism.

The Irish Self-Catering Federation are among the industry chiefs who are calling upon Simon Harris to “stop unintended and serious harm being inflicted on Ireland’s rural tourism economy”.

One of the issues concerning the coalition of concerned stakeholders is in relation to the Registration of Short-Term Letting Bill.

To explore this further, Alan Morrissey spoke with Máire NÍ Mhurchú, the CEO of the Irish Self-Catering Federation and Fred Hannaford of Deerpark Holiday Cottages in Killaloe.
