The shocking loss is jeopardising the business said Senator Pat Casey who owns the hotel.
In light of the Level 5 restrictions being re-introduced Senator Casey said there is no evidence to prove that the hospitality sector is a major contributor to the spread of pandemic.
Senator Casey said he is extremely frustrated with what he regards as the unfair way in which the hospitality sector is being treated. I cannot express the words at the moment about the way the hospitality sector has been treated. These are people s livelihoods and families are being affected. This yo-yo effect is driving us insane and crazy. It is all about personal responsibility.
