Kenny urges no Gathering ‘rip off’

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has urged businesses not to “rip off” tourists who come to Ireland as part of next year’s Gathering initiative.

Mr Kenny said it would be wrong if businesses took a “give us your money” approach to visitors.

The Gathering is Ireland’s biggest ever tourism project, with the Government hoping a wide array of festivals and events will attract an additional 345,000 visitors over the course of 2013.
