A Donegal hotel is offering rooms for € 2 per person sharing this weekend.
In a post on its Facebook page, Beach Hotel Downings wrote that it is open to hotel residents and up to 15 non-residents abroad. The “one time offer” is available this weekend, following the announcement that Donegal would join Dublin on level three of the Living with Covid plan.
In comments, Beach Hotel Downings said the offer is “directed at the local people in the area.”
“No one will use the rooms. It is simply a method of allowing people to become residents for a maximum period of 1 hour and 45 minutes so that they can take advantage of our food and beverage services.”
The hotel will be closed from Monday until further notice. She wrote: “This was simply a way to recoup our costs from the ordered actions for the full house of residents who canceled on Friday night. The usual Covid-19 controlled social distancing restrictions apply.”
At midnight Thursday, level three restrictions were introduced following a high incidence rate in the county.
Social gatherings like Communions, weddings, birthday parties and other family events have been blamed for a large number of cases there.
Gardaí is conducting a series of checkpoints throughout the county to ensure the guidelines are being followed and has coordinated an effort with the PSNI to monitor checkpoints across the border.
Of the 326 confirmed cases of Covid-19 yesterday, 22 were in Donegal.
