With temperatures rising to 40 degrees across Europe, many people are choosing to enjoy the sun in Ireland instead of venturing abroad.

However, for many, their staycations are often shorter and not as luxurious due to the high costs of accommodation and price inflation.

We want to hear from some of our listeners, how much did you spend on your staycation, and was it worth it?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Travel Writer, Nicola Brady, Eugene Garrihy from Dublin Bay Cruises and listeners.
