I rise in support of a point Deputy Kerrane made. I am from a community where we have taken in almost 1,000 Ukrainian refugees from war. It is a town of 10,000 people. Obviously, there are stretches on the capacity of local services and education supports. I know the Tánaiste is aware of this because he came to see it. Youghal, in my constituency, has lost two out of its three hotels, one permanently. It is now being used for Ukrainian refugees. There is a concern locally that the last remaining hotel, the Walter Raleigh, may be sold for purposes other than tourism. Will the Government look at this as an issue? We cannot have towns losing the entirety of their hotel accommodation. There must be some consideration that for a town of 10,000 people, this is just a step too far.

The Deputy raises a very fair point. I am very conscious of the situation in Youghal, where two out of the three hotels are now used for Ukrainians or those seeking international protection under the Geneva Convention.

The Government is very aware of the need for balance. It is also aware of the need for tourism, particularly in towns such as Youghal for which tourism is a key industry given the historic closure of many manufacturing enterprises of previous eras. Because tourism is important to the town, it has to have capacity to have a tourism offering. This is well accepted. Therefore, it has to go into any measures to make sure that the balance is right.
