Tourist Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2024-04-18
============================================================

Brendan Griffin (FG), Kerry

I congratulate the Minister, Deputy Burke, and Minister of State, Deputy Higgins, on their recent appointments. I wish them the very best during their tenure. The Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, has been there all along and I wish him continued success as well.
This question is a very serious one related to the reduced footfall in towns such as Killarney resulting from displacement for emergency accommodation purposes. What can be done to compensate and support businesses in those scenarios and, similarly, in other towns throughout the country?
