Something worrying is underway in Irish tourism.  The number of visitors to this country in February was down a whopping 30% on the same time last year.  And those who did come spent less as well.  

The great and the good of the tourism sector meets in Killarney this week as part of the ‘Meitheal conference’ and one of the key speeches will be from the Tourism Ireland chief executive is Alice Mansergh who joined Joe on the show this morning.
