We stayed at Frank's Field last Monday night, and walking to the boardwalk on Tuesday morning we commented how good it was to see the Quality Hotel open for business again and looking busy.
Then we heard on Red FM this morning a caller saying the hotel was now under new ownership and had cancelled his wedding booking and all other commitments.
The conversation then seemed to suggest that future plans might relate to housing Ukrainian refugees?
Whilst fully sympathetic to the need to house families fleeing from conflict, Youghal has come through a few hard years of Covid, it'll be another knock-back for the town to lose the tourist trade from the hotel.
