The public flocked to the coast during the Easter break with spending up in Donegal, Sligo and Kerry as punters spent their hard-earned cash in hotels, restaurants and pubs.
A survey released today by AIB showed consumers made the most of the holiday as coastal breaks topped the poll, with spending up 27% in Donegal, closely followed by Sligo up 26% and Kerry up 25%.
The three coastal hotspots have long been a favourite area for staycations for families here.
