Bed shortage in Dublin threatens tourism potential

An “acute” shortage of hotel rooms in Dublin and “modest” international awareness of the Wild Atlantic Way are major threats to the success of Irish tourism this year.

At its annual review of the tourism industry, Fáilte Ireland said after a record 2015, the sector could expect further growth this year.

However, it warned that the growing optimism in the sector needs to be tempered by the fact that challenges remain in the sector.
