Union fights to keep Fáilte guide

THE trade union Impact has demanded the Government stop Fáilte Ireland from withdrawing from its role of inspecting 5,800 self-catering facilities and publishing a self-catering guide.

The tourism authority wrote to self-catering operators in July telling them that from this summer they would no longer inspect or approve individual self-catering accommodation.

Fáilte Ireland also said the shamrock logo could not be used by self-catering operators after December 31.
