So, where would go on your staycation with your voucher if SF had there way?

I think I might go to Wexford to see The Hook Head light house of Mary Lou was in charge.
I can see the idea of it but I wonder how will it pay for it’s self.

What do ye think of the idea in general?

“There's been calls for everyone in the country to be given vouchers for staycations.

Sinn Féin says every adult should get a €200 one for all style voucher, with children getting €100.

The measure would cost €860 million.

Sinn Féin TD Darren O'Rourke says it would provide a much needed stimulus for the tourism sector.

"It would put money through the tills of the tourism and hospitality sector”

I can see why, if you gave it to hoteliers, some might just take the money and shut. If they want the businesses to run, they've got to get people in the door. I don't think I want to be in the first wave of people visiting a hotel. Either people in hazmat suits probing me, or people running around licking each other. Probably no middle ground! :-)

I wonder will there be an extra Covid fee by hotels, to get the most out of it. Prices will probably rise, so maybe this will just offset it.
