I wouldnt be relying on overseas tourists to be the recovery boost. An awful lot of people worldwide will be staying at home. The aviation industry will take a long time to recover particularly if social distancing continues. On a domestic level it willbe tricky for hotels, bars etc but if they can start some form ofoperation they will get guests but will it be enough to cover operating costs.

Aye.....its near impossible to predict anything long term until.social distancing is no longer a thing

Though,maybe we should look into lower VAT rate/other incentives to kick-off staycations here for the summer....if its ok virus-wise to travel about

There are some very unpalatable decisions going to be made in the coming years. We are all going to have to take a hit. Hopefully, it’ll be fairly distributed. To quote the late great CJH “We’ve been living beyond our means” and need reassess our priorities.

Love this.

“Independent TD for Galway East Seán Canney said the group would sit down and try to work out a programme for Government with costings.

He said: "As a group we will try to sit down and try to find agreement to help out. It's better to be inside Government than outside criticising."”

The land for the Bertie bowl is now the performance sport centre for rugby, soccer, swimming etc....one of the best investments this country has ever made. The gymnastic facilities are incredible to name just one

I still believe the stadium should of went ahead, the Aviva is too small now for rugby games

I am sure it is.
I did not read the full article so there may be more land available on west side Dublin.

I do think we need a National Stadium.

Bookies now strongly favouring FF+FG+Green (+ possibly Independents) coalition. Seems like the Greens have won the wrestling match with their conscience
