Tourist Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-21
============================================================

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

We will take the Deputy’s ideas on board, including alternatives, such as glamping, as well as the greenway experience of Lough Derg, and I will link in with Fáilte Ireland in that regard. Publicity is taking place. Tourism Ireland, in conjunction with Fáilte Ireland, has invited a crew from NBC to film for the "Today" show and "Open House", a real estate show that reaches over 1.5 million viewers. The crew captured footage in west Clare and at the lakeside in Ballina, County Tipperary. Publicity is happening. I take on board what the Deputy is saying that there is a real issue with accommodation. We attract people. Attractions are there, but there is an issue with accommodation, which is something we will have to look at.
