The business group will be following up by hosting a live phone-in discussion on the findings of the survey with the press in May. The Chair of the Connemara Chamber John Sweeney said: ‘Connemara is very good at looking after visitors. It’s our economy. However our permanent population is in decline which is very worrying.
