Bed and breakfasts are set to make major gains this year, figures show.

Online bookings for B&Bs rose by 62% and trade bookings by 26% over the first three months of this year, compared to the corresponding period last year.

A B&B Ireland team of 12 will be representing the island-wide body at Meitheal 2013 in the RDS, Dublin, this week.
