Benefits of campervan tourism questioned
May 25, 2021
LOW-BUDGET tourism was debated by the council’s Rural Committee this week when members heard that some visitors are going so far as to dispose of the contents of campervan sewage tanks in public toilets.
Councillor Cillian Murphy said one particular blog had advice on travelling the Wild Atlantic Way without spending a penny.
