Bank holiday travel expected to spark €1bn boost to economy

Fáilte Ireland's Director of Marketing Niall Tracey said an influx of people visiting beaches and other beauty spots will help businesses outside of Dublin in particular.

The June bank holiday is expected to spark a €1 billion boost to the economy, as thousands are set to spend the weekend at parks and beaches.

Outdoor hospitality, which opens again on Monday, is set to contribute to that along with hotels which re-opened earlier this week.
