Tourism body under fire after RTÉ reporter urged to leave city

BUSINESS and tourism leaders in Cork launched a stinging attack on the region’s tourist promotion board last night after a major blunder.

A staff member in the Regional Tourism Authority’s (formerly Cork Kerry Tourism) Cork office told an RTÉ reporter he’d be better off heading to Killarney.

Cork Business Association (CBA), the Irish Hotels’ Federation (IHF) and Cork Chamber reacted furiously.
