Breakfast sounds like the typical ****e from a petrol station.

Breakfast sounds like that which was prepared, and still probably is, at a 4 Star hotel where I worked in County Wexford.

Just his usual going on about his own family life ... if it were now and then it would be ok, but he should be a professional and keep it to a minimum, as it is he is always doing it .

Always listened to Derek Mooney, he wasn't brilliant but a million times better than D'Arcy...nor did he drone on about his own mundane life and family

Whatever it is, you can be sure Philip will make it even more boring than it actually is.

Enjoy folks, I'll not be listening today. My cynicism presence is required elsewhere.

PTSB are in the news following a series of failures related to tracker mortgages, get their apology letter?
Lena Dunham does it, Kim Kardashian does it, does your teen? We're talking about vocalfry
Has AirBnB replaced the traditional B&B? Does a B&B have a lot more to offer?

snubbleste

no adverts between NewsAtOne & Liveline???

Atlantic Dawn

Why don't the B&B's simply add themselves to Airbnb offering room and board or am I completely missing something?

Atlantic Dawn

OTA's, yes most people would know what that meant.

somesoldiers

I still don't get who makes the Brekkie on AirBnB- you do it yourself I presume- shouldn't it be called Air B then?

Dan Jaman

Sure, some people would love it, if they were expected to muck out the cows in the morning before breakfast. There's a real opportunity here - get people to pay well for a working holiday.

Atlantic Dawn

For a 5 star you need to offer the full service.

Depends if you are sharing with owner.

snubbleste

Do B&Bs pay commercial rates?

Atlantic Dawn

How could you possibly offer that level of service in a B&B, it would be like opening a McDonalds on Ireland Eye, the customers wil never justify the costs.

Sharing what?.........bed? Shower? Bath?

i believe some of the options are just rooms in a persons house. They may offer breakfast. this was the case when my stayed in one.

This one going on about the standards of the B+B's has her head in the clouds. Most of the B+B's I have stayed in over the last few years have been very basic, with a greasy fry up in the morning. I now happily pay for a hotel room, and there is not much in the price difference.

You don't pay vat or possibly tax!

Dan Jaman

I opened up to Air B&B and had gigantic pains in the ass from the internet.
