A listener got in touch after her friend booked a family break in a hotel in Waterford… only to arrive and find the place “full of immigrants” (as she called them). So we ask the question: should hotels have to tell paying guests if part of the hotel is being used to house asylum seekers?
Adrian says it’s nobody’s business who else is staying there, while callers argue about safety, “unvetted men”, privacy, and the reality that a third of Irish hotels are involved.
From boycott threats to claims of entitlement, the debate gets heated, messy, and very honest. Strictly over 18s. -
