The State “will not turn away” refugees or asylum seekers despite the “short-term effect” on some areas of the tourism industry, Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said

“I worked in tourism,” he said. “I know the real value it brings, particularly because it disperses economic benefits right across the country. We have to get the balance right. Part of that balance is also doing what we can to help people from Ukraine.

“Yes, there is a short-term effect on some areas of tourism. The hotel sector itself has not been as badly affected because they are under contract for all the accommodation, but we are not going to turn people away who are in need of our refuge at this time. Fáilte Ireland last month said there was an “urgent need” for the Government to adopt a “more balanced approach” to the Ukraine refugee crisis, with a quarter of the State’s tourist accommodation currently unavailable.
