International Fears for Ireland's economy as tourist numbers drop 'sharply'

[Croo67]

The number of tourists visiting Ireland has dropped by 25%, which has sparked fears for the country's economy - with the tourism sector worth around $20 billion per year and supporting over 300,000 jobs.

What could be causing the drop in visitors to the Emerald Isle? It's always pretty high up on the bucket list of Irish diaspora wishing to see the land of their ancestors, as well as those with no ties to the country.

I'd say the insight of Irish people on an Irish issue is quite valuable.

I would say comments sections on internet articles are the worst source of information that has ever existed in human history.

If people wanted to visit a Muslim country, they would just go to the UAE

Pretty sure prime Rosie O'Donnell just moved to Ireland so it sounds like everything is fine over there.

Rumor is this is the reason . Rawhead Rex is a demon, alive for millennia, trapped in the depths of Hell, and waiting for release. He is held by an ancient seal, imprisoned for centuries in a barren field near the hamlet of Rathmore, Ireland
