B&Bs in north west devastated by Covid restrictions

Bed and breakfast operators across the north west are among those whose businesses have been devastated because of Covid-19.

Many B&Bs are reporting significant losses, some of up to 97%.

Meanwhile, the government has announced a grants scheme to help them open safely and re-employ workers.

The grants will be up to 4,000 euro.

She says B&B owners in the counties of Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal have witnessed their businesses almost wiped out in 2020.
