Cullen: Sunday double pay rates unfair to hoteliers

DOUBLE pay rates for hotel Sunday workers are unfair and the issue needs to be resolved, according to Minister for Tourism Martin Cullen who was reacting to a call from hoteliers that Sunday double pay is no longer sustainable.

The Irish Hotel Federation (IHF) said the Sunday lunch at the local hotel could become a thing of the past as wage costs are posing a major threat to hotel services.

The call came at the 71st IHF conference which is taking place in Killarney.
