    Come to Ireland, where the government is paying for half the hotels to be booked up with visitors from abroad.

    And hard-working Irish taxpayers cannot afford to stay in the hotels with spaces that are left, who may be unable to afford a weekend a year break in them.

    Imagine waking up in an idyllic, overpriced hotel overlooking the sea....

    Walking empty handed along endless deserted beaches....

    WAKE UP - to being ripped off at Inchydoney Lodge Hotel & Spa, Clonakilty, West Cork!

    At least if it is still working as a hotel, not too bad. Well done to any hotel who keeps functioning as a hotel, and providing the service a hotel offers, albeit at a high cost to its customers.

    I am not being racist in saying the following, because it is fact. In some places the local hotel is full of Ukranians or other immigrants ( latest figures are 102,339 Ukrainian citizens have been granted temporary protection, a lot of them in hotels ), so if you are lucky enough to get an over-priced airb'nb ( the local hotel not being available for tourists), you will

    "Dream of walking with voices from far away lands, along endless beaches....

    WAKE UP - to being ripped off and reminded of reality in Ireland 2023 / 2024 !"

    You can just dream of staying in a hotel in Ireland now, because you cannot afford it.

    N.B. Even in 2022 as well: in 2022 the media reported approximately 240 hotels in the country were being used to house refugees and asylum seekers. That begs the question: if so many fewer tourists can stay in hotels, has the number of employees Failte ireland employs been reduced in proportion?
