So


Sorry so you’re saying that as a medical professional I do not have a right to go on a staycation? Especially when the rest of the country are travelling up and down, which there is absolutely no rule against. Aswell as the people travelling abroad. I think after the last few months I’ve been through personally I would be well within my rights, as is the rest of Ireland, to go up and down the country on a holiday with my partner and follow all guidelines and I would be breaking absolutely no ‘form of medical ethics’ in doing so. Give it a rest. Us healthcare professionals are probably the most safe and cautious in these situations. Do not paint us all with the same brush. Perhaps worry about those swanning off to Ibiza and focus on the ‘ethics’ that they are breaking. Feel seriously disappointed and hurt at that statement, especially after all I have done for this country since march, having worked on a covid ward since. I do have a life outside of my job as should every other hcp.

Omg You def deserve a break. Well done on the amazing job you do. I've seen it first hand & I have the utmost respect & gratitude.

I know a few local pubs etc that put an empty pizza box in front of their drinkers. Ah it's a joke .... should be more inspections.

I agree! I live in Ireland and the more I see of these posts, the less I want to holiday here haha. They've made me a bit bored of it. Its how social made me feel about Greece/Santorini - I feel like its overly instagrammed too.

I agree ! the word staycation is actually getting on my nerves now!!

Plus I know a good few people that couldn't afford RIP OFF Ireland with the prices gone up!!! Think I'm going to post that under the next staycation pic / we're paying for these freebies that they are getting - sick to death of it at this stage

That's how I felt about Cabu when they all started getting their gifted trips after I booked it. It just made me not want to go. Then I noticed they overcharged us €200 on our booking...must be trying to make up the money they lost on all those gifted stays!

I think that too. They have upped the prices for normal folk so that insta huns can have a free weekend stay.. Plus meals and everything else...

They have the prices on the website in € but then charge the same amount but in £! Don't know if it's an accident or they're hoping people don't notice that they've been overcharged. Either way it pissed me off because it's already not cheap and they have gifted stays to loads of people!

It's no accident.. I understand they r trying to claw back lost revenue but I would be so happy to see let's say a family with a special needs child be gifted a stay or a sick child. U know what I mean. I would commend the hotel and also give them my business.

Ye brands really need to start realising that them using Influencers is actually turning people off and hurting their brand! Especially these days with people losing so much, the last thing they want to see is this lot showing off the constant freebies.
 
I feel like the influencers are making such a huge fuss over the smallest of outings trying to make up for the lack of blogger events/ foreign holidays/ festivals that they’d usually be snapped at. Like over 300€ for a jumpsuit to go for a birthday dinner with your husband. Get off it!! 🤣

Terrie like someone has already said is taking the piss with all her trips. Yes of course you are entitled to go and I know you would be safe but terrie has broken a good few rules that we have all seen.

Jaysus calm down. This thread is about the actions of a specific person and her “Do as I say not as I do” behaviour. She preaches one thing and does another. No need to take it so personally.

Seafield must be flat out gifting her free stays, back again with Dayyyyyveh after only being there with her ‘girls’ a few days ago.

It would put me off ever booking there. I stayed in Kilkenny hotel once for my partners birthday, spent a good bit on afternoon tea, dinner, prosecco and cake in the room etc. (Which i chose and had no issue paying for).

The day after Terrie arrived for a gifted stay, all of the above included plus a whole lot more. Really left a bad taste for me that that my payment was supplementing a free stay for her. Used to be one of my favourite hotels but would not return now.

I've considered cancelling hotels for somewhere else after seeing Influencers stay there because I hate this gifted shite so much! Unfortunately there are very few nice hotels in Ireland left that havn't sold their soul to Influencer marketing. My beloved Brooklodge has even started it 😭
 
Off again on another jaunt. Seriously. It is so disappointing that she is going away again in a pandemic. Killed herself telling us stay apart at the beginning and now that doesnt matter anymore so let's go everywhere. Imagine her contact tracing.
I really think businesses needed to do a survey on what customers think of brands using influencers to promote services and products because there is a list of them that i will not be using from the carry on of them since lockdown. Really lost touch with the public. This industry needs to be regulated because it is a joke what they get away with for nothing. They can do what they want there is no sanctions but cry trolling when someone like me disagrees with them. Maddening.
 
The Betsy in Swords had Terrie, Carol Byrne and Shannen Reilly McGrath and Katie Jackson there recently. All of them saying “thanks for having us”, which in blogger terms means thanks for the freebies! Terrie eating a cheeseboard and about 50 desserts washed down with cocktails. As if she’d ruin her figure like that. It’s actually so disgusting. Anyone who gives them the custom now is an idiot, funding all those free dinners.
