Reply To: What happened the National Conference Centre?

I don’t know how the government can say a conference centre is not self-financing.
Okay, you don’t get your money back directly within five years but they are worth their weight in gold.
I’ve visited a couple of places, diverse cities like Baltimore and Brighton, that seem to thrive in having decent conference centres.
In many US cities, it’s impossible to get a hotel room when they have a big conference on.
We have nothing in Dublin to attract ‘big’ conferences say with 5,000+ delegates.
I personally know Irish people in US who would love to bring events back here but can’t because of lack of facilities.
