Listen "Clare Tourism Chair Says No Dublin Cap Will Boost Shannon And Visitors"

Episode Synopsis

The Chair of Clare's Tourism Advisory Forum believes the lifting of the Dublin Airport Passenger Cap would not only increase visitor numbers in this county, but also boost Shannon's traffic. It comes as the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation has been calling for budget supports amid a 11% drop in overseas visitors numbers so far this year. The organisation has previously identified that 40% of those flying into Dublin ultimately travel to the Wild Atlantic Way. Co-Owner of Hotel Woodstock Seán Lally believes boosting funding caps for Shannon and passenger limitations for Dublin would bring major benefits.
