Fake news! 😁.

A new tagline for the campaign:

None of them foreign types, even if only visiting with their dollars and euros. If Ireland is full, it's full. That's logic.

Failte Ireland has got it's hands full now. With the logic that foreigners are not welcome because Ireland is full, which should obviously include tourists, they have a PR problem: tourists bring cash. But if towns like Roscrea are full - coz to say otherwise is fake news - what they gonna do? They need to rebrand Ireland;

Money isn't racist. Neither are we.

(As long as you bring your money, and don't try to live here, unless you're setting up a multinational company, oh - and doing important work like nursing etc. Having a right-wing fundamentalist housing outsourcing policy means that fleeing persecution doesn't cut it - but only as long as it takes to sort the self-inflicted housing crisis out).

I don't think the caveat would fit on the side of an aircraft though.

The Land Of People With Irish Names That Can't Speak Irish.

Would you like to be charged ridiculous prices for a few pints, get into a row with a stranger over who is first in the queue, have your best friend partially vomit on your pizza but still eat it anyway, and freeze for three hours while you wait for a taxi to finish all the town runs before he brings you out to where you're staying just outside of town? Then visit any town in Ireland.

Ireland. It's like Sweden, but dysfunctional.

Ireland. We're not English in the way the English are not German.

Ireland. We eat a blood product for breakfast. Are you up to the challenge of that, you pussy?

And on the 8th day, God created Ireland, and then cancelled the 8th day and gave up on the world.

Visit Munster. The only place in the world where the top is called Tipp, there's a Cork in the bottom, and it's biggest joke is a Limerick.

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.

oh, I see what ya did there, yeah. "Come". That's a new one, clever.

Come to Ireland. Sure every country has it's fair share of uninspired idiots.

Much better! Especially coz it's accurate.

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?

A Failte Ireland 'how to do tourism properly' approach from the IT, as a possible'#dearolga' campaign maybe?
