Dublin City Council is seriously considering slapping a tax on tourists visiting the Irish capital.
The finance committee of the council today announced plans to charge tourists €1 per bed per night in an effort to raise €24m a year.
Other ideas mooted include a plan to raise the amount that developers pay for large scale planning applications. 

What do you think?  Is Dublin already too expensive?  Let us know your thoughts!
