The 50m question: From lidos to late buses and a boating lake in Phoenix Park, how to spend Dublin's tourist tax windfall
"Dublin City Council has proposed a tax of between €2 and €5 per person per night, depending on the standard and price of accommodation."
"Estimates suggest that Dublin could earn between €30m and €50m per year, although the council's head of economic development, Ross Curley, offers a more conservative annual haul: €17.5m."
Dublin City Council is considering implementing a tourist tax ranging from €2 to €5 per person per night based on accommodation standards. This initiative aims to generate significant revenue for the city, with estimates suggesting potential earnings between €30 million and €50 million annually. However, the council's head of economic development, Ross Curley, provides a more conservative estimate of €17.5 million. The concept of tourist taxes is common in Europe, with many EU countries already imposing such fees.
