Are there any Irish people doing that unappreciated hard work anymore
That was a grim read, sad to see people gey exploited like that
So Irish hotelier rip off migrant workers – even if they’re EU citizens. Then they charge embarrassingly high (for an Irish person) rates to their customers and complain about VAT rates on the radio.
I’d love if they named and shamed the hotel.
This is the same “hospitality” industry crying for yet another VAT break ladies and gentlemen.
Haven’t stayed at an Irish hotel since they started the insane gouging with Covid. Every time I looked, I have thought “Jesus I’d be away somewhere foreign for a few days for that price” so did exactly that instead.
The collapse of the Irish hospitality sector can’t come quick or hard enough. Dreadful sector filled with horrible work practices and exploitation.
😭
It’s good to see such normal responses here. Spent an hour looking at responses to other news stories around Reddit and the gloating and sneering is enough to make you puke. Thank you, /Ireland commenters.
