Timmy Dooley Dublin Ireland

An Irish senator has blasted hotels in Dublin for "exorbitant" hotel prices on St Patrick's Day weekend that he said are creating a "very negative image" of Ireland and its tourism industry.

He said: "It sends a really negative signal to people coming to stay in Dublin."
