Campaign set to ensure State owns GSH group

A CAMPAIGN to ensure the Great Southern Hotel (GSH) group remains in State hands is being reactivated in Kerry, where two of the top hotels are located.

Latest concerns arise from the Government’s decision to break up Aer Rianta, which is responsible for the GSH group.

Trade unionists and employees at the hotels in Killarney and Parknasilla have made their views clear to Tourism Minister John O’Donoghue who stated that it is in the interests of Irish tourism that the hotels should remain in State ownership.
