Vol. 262 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Hotel Occupancy.

14.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power whether he is aware of a reduction in the hotel occupancy rate over the past year; and whether his Department is aware of any close-down of major hotels resulting from low occupancy.

I am informed by Bord Fáilte that the board prepare hotel occupancy rates on a calendar year basis only and that the rate for the current year cannot be calculated until the data for the whole of 1972 becomes available. The answer to the second part of the Deputy's question is "no".

If the Government or a State body have an interest in a company do that company have to advertise a sale or can they sell privately?

It is entirely a commercial matter.
