This week on the Elaine Show we are celebrating inter-county travel and I’ve picked some great deals in Irish hotels for Christmas and January Breaks. On December 18th we are free to travel around Ireland and a little staycation is a real treat to look forward to after so many months of restrictions. I ran a poll on Twitter this week to see how keen people are to travel between counties and 75% said that they would love to take a break soon. It’s great for our hospitality sector that there is the opportunity to travel again and I have full confidence in the quality and standard of our terrific hotels and restaurants. Failte Ireland have set out strict guidelines that I have seen adhered to by every property that I’ve visited this year. Look out for the safety charter issued by Failte Ireland and the Government.
