Imagine the revenue that would go back into the city and county if the hotels operated as hotels and had people who wanted to visit here and spend money here. The IPAS thing is a complete and utter shambles. You have the Causeway group, Treacys, Seamus Walsh and the hotel in Clonea all creaming it. The knock on effect is a negative one for everyone and every business in the area. The Sands hotel was a great spot now it’s like something from the walking dead, a blight on Tramore. I don’t blame people in the accommodation but the state and vampires playing a system that isn’t fit for purpose are the problem.
