Coastal Businesses Bask In Heatwave Boom

Good weather is great news for most of us, but for businesses along Ireland's coast, a spell of sunshine can make the difference between just getting by and having a really successful season.     As recent reports have highlighted, cafés, ice cream shops, activity providers and seaside businesses have seen a major boost whenever the sun shines, with many saying a busy few weeks can help pay the bills for the year.     This morning, Alan Morrissey was joined by two coastal business owners to hear how this recent spell of good weather has affected trade, the challenges that come with the seasonal rush, and what a sunny summer really means for businesses that depend on visitors; Carmel Connaire, of the Coffee Hatch on the prom, and Elaine Haugh Hayes, of Naughton's Yard and Naughton's Restaurant in Kilkee.
