Government criticised over lack of action on hotel jobs

A leader in the hotel industry yesterday criticised the Government for not working more closely with the sector on a plan to create 3,000 jobs.

Little or no progress has been made on a jobs training plan put forward last year by the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF), delegates at the IHF’s annual conference, in Killarney, Co Kerry, were told.

The aim is to provide up to 3,000 people with entry-level employment in the sector each year.
