The Government has been urged to consider a special ‘staycation’ package to promote domestic holidays and salvage something from the pandemic-hit 2020 season by one of Ireland’s most successful marine tourism operators.

Kerry tourism operator Paul Devane warned that it was “absolutely critical” the Government offers hope and positivity to an industry facing the worst losses in over a century.
