      Has the industry considered looking at their own prices? Or will they just ask for another subsidy?

      I’m not industry expert but here are a few things that I think might be a factor

      * Price of accommodation
      * Price of car rental
      * Price of eating out
      * Price of drink

      It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that it is cheaper to go somewhere else in Europe, get more and spend much less.

      Crisis point or not, trying to stay in a decent hotel within Ireland is extortionately expensive and has been like that for a few years. Not sustainable.

      Well stop filling up all our hotels with IPAS and refugees so ye greedy cunts.

      Everything is way too dear. We are pricing ourselves out of it

      I’m still a little sceptical of how bad it is for the industry, this current round of discourse is based on two months of falling numbers, in the quietest portion of the year. Dramatic falls sure, but still. It’ll be clearer as we get into the summer if this is actually that bad.

      That said, there are obvious headwinds against the industry. America is all fucky, and that’s going to impact American tourists.

      Uhm, 30% drop in 12 months time sounds like you’re already in a crisis. You are heading towards a catastrophe.

      High hotel and food costs. Also the ‘quaint villages’ or yee olde ireland ideas that say Americans would flock here for is no longer here. Not a comment on immigration but this going to destroy future tourism also when people know their idea of Ireland no longer exists.

      Hospitality has been incentivised to charge top rates in exchange for being emergency accommodation. It’s a sure thing compared to the actual hospitality trade—of course they’re going to screw average punters. 

      Remember when we all came out to support them post-COVID and they were charging a grand for a week in some shitbox and €25 for nuggets and chips? 

      They can rot.

      I’m coming for 10 days in June. Ireland is expensive af

      I’m a non EU citizen living in Ireland, I am forced to do day trips because of how expensive it is to stay everywhere in Ireland. You can find budget stays but you have to have your trip planned very early

      3 years since i last stayed in a hotel in ireland. Made the decision that im not paying those extortionate prices anymore. Used to go on weekend breaks 2 or 3 times a year to the like of sligo and westport.

      I went to albufeira for 4 days for 200 per person last week. Flight and accommodation. Car hire was 12 euro for 4 days. Food and drink are cheaper than here. There is not a chance I could get that anywhere in Ireland.

      I love Ireland. I mean, really love it. Love the people, the culture, the countryside, the history, the craic, but..fuck me it’s too expensive

      Talking to a group of Dutch lads during the Six Nations against France and for the group of them, they’d spent about €2,200 to come here.

      Myself and 3 friends are spending €2,600 to go to New York this summer.

      They’ve only themselves to blame, the greedy pricks and more fool you if you fall for this “VAT rate” fucking nonsense they’re spewing to continue lining their pockets.

      I personally hope alot of the industry hits the wall for charging locals tourist prices for the last 5 years.

    21. Long-Confusion-5219 on

      Had a look at hotels yesterday in the Westport/Castlebar area. 300-600 for one night was the main price range. Fuck right off

      Last year I was trying to book a hotel in Dublin city centre for a work trip. All the hotels were in the region of €300+. Then I found one for about €140. Great I thought. Clicked on the link and discovered it was for a bed in a 6 bed room in a hostel.

      That’s when I realised the Tourism industry in Ireland was screwed. I just drove up and down to the meeting. Most tourists will just go to a country that doesn’t rip them off.
