20,000 log on to avail of hotel breaks for only €1

HOTELIERS in west Cork received such a stampede for €1 hotel breaks that they’re going to run a similar promotion in south Wales as part of celebrations heralding the reopening of the Cork-Swansea ferry route.

Nine hotels in the Clonakilty area are offering 100 people the opportunity to grab a night’s B&B for two for just €1.

Bargain-hunters were up early yesterday clicking their keyboards as they logged on in the hope of winning one of the bargain-basement breaks for next month.
