“No supplier will lock in and, if they do, it is at some eye-watering level that is much higher than the market. The head wind is that this is going to get a lot worse very quickly,” he said.
Hoteliers have limited flexibility to find savings in their energy bills because they must have constant hot water available for guests, he said. The hotelier is concerned about possible supply disruptions and energy rationing between the peak hours of 5pm and 7pm, one of the busiest times in a hotel’s day, which would be damaging for business.
She said she knew of a 145-bedroom hotel in Cork whose monthly electricity bill had jumped from €10,000 in July 2019 to €42,000 last July. Another hotel in the north of the country was forecasting a possible increase of €800,000 in his annual energy bill this year, she said.
Give leakyleo a pull off there and he’ll fill your hole - tel with Ukrainians that’ll more than cover your costs of electricity. Why is this guys bills higher than other hotels believe nothing in twitter nothing.
The EU knee jerked too quick over Ukraine. Now we are paying the price. Will we see cold related deaths this year? I hope not but if we do, the atmosphere will change. 'Fasten your seat belts. It's gonna be a bumpy night'.
If your business didn't shut down in the first two years of Draconian lockdowns, well....
He can well afford it with prices they charging plus I'm sure he has Ukrainians in there so his has plenty to spend
Is this hotel accommodating Ukrainians? So no worries
Is he a socialist, yet? Until he is, he can fek right up
Will he drop his room rates now or will he triple them?
Zero sympathy. Prices they were charging in the summer or else it was full of feckin Ukrainian tourists
The hospitality sector gouged the public during the summer no sympathy
My home electric bill has jumped by a similar % amount. Available for comment if you need me 👍🏻
And all because we are paying for a poxy war we aren't even in. Yet another EU success story.
As I predicted the Annual whinge fest by IHFcomms LVADublinPubs & RAI_ie members, no pandemic handouts this year, what else could we come with 🤔 I presume all those Hotels being richly rewarded 4 housing 🇺🇦 refugees have nothing 2 fear 🤔 Gouging on an epic scale, Feck OFF
I’m sure he could squeeze another few Ukrainians in. No sympathy for any of them
Bushwells, is home to many Government Ministers and TDs on a daily basis, their menu should have that Electric Bill as an attachment...and dont forget to ask for a TIP...which will probably be...Shower less!
How much are they charging for a room again since this ukranian bollox started?... My heart bleeds to the smallest violin in the world playing for them.
They whinge when they're closed, they whinge when they're open, they whinge when they can't get staff, they whinge when they can get staff - do they ever not have the hand out?
Well, it's hard to shed a tear for the hotel industry. Biggest gougers going. Exploited the low VAT regime to profiteer and small restaurants/coffee shops will suffer when the rate is restored. Media always waiting with tissues for them.
Wonder if they still consider all the 🇺🇦virtue signalling worthwhile?
