Shocking - in Dublin rules for Aparthotel are different to self-catering. Same issue as Edinburgh.

[SaveSelfCatering @SaveSCScotland]

@scotgov @Edinburgh_CC Locally run self-catering businesses are being closed down while foreign investors are welcomed to build aparthotels on minimum wage staff & exfiltrate profits abroad. Anyone pretending otherwise is lying. #SaveSC

Should they move the Rose of Tralee to Killarney where there is more tourism accommodation?

[ISCF.ie @ISCFederation]

Figure of 20,000 is very arbitrary as Tralee has less tourism beds than Killarney. There should be special allowance for tourism towns such as Ennis, Tralee, Sligo and Kilkenny.
A self-catering business is in place for 7 or more years the Grandfather rule should 🧵

Government need to serious rethink the crackdown on self-catering businesses and stop Scapegoating’ urged Michael Healy Rae. Information in an FOI in todays @IrishTimes .

[Activity Days Ireland @ActivityDays_ie]

Thanks to @IAAT_ie for organising an excellent B2B event where we met suppliers from the Wild Atlantic Way for multi-day packages. Great to meet exciting activity businesses.

[Activity Days Ireland @ActivityDays_ie]

@ISCFederation @IAAT_ie @BrendanKennyyy @Alan_Dillon We need a variety of tourism beds for our guests. Why is Gov not supporting SME self-catering businesses

[Activity Days Ireland @ActivityDays_ie]

Looking forward to an exciting day of discussion at IAATConf25 on the importance of activity providers to providing great holiday memories in Ireland.

@TravelExtraIre Data is frightening for SME Tourism businesses. Big plans for develop sector, yet little support to individual companies.

[Activity Days Ireland @ActivityDays_ie]

When a Gov. proposal to remove up to 50% of tourism beds in rural and coastal areas - all tourism economy will suffer. From the activity providers like us to restaurants, pubs , attractions and wider community.

[ISCF.ie @ISCFederation]

A lot of facing Irelands largest indigenous industry tourism @RTE_PrimeTime . The possible loss of 50% of tourism beds in rural and coastal areas is seen as a key issue by @EoganOMW of ITIC and @EoghanCorry of @TravelMedia_ie

Cllr Carroll at Cork LEA meeting. ‘These self-catering people fear that they will be lumped in with Airbnbs and this is a disgrace. Successful businesses especially in West Cork such as Cottages for Couples near Skibbereen,’ https://t.co/DBGgy3Kx9M

Visitor tax is placed on all bookings, reducing domestic tourism which makes up 45% of bookings in self-catering.
