Our brand is the céad míle fáilte and that we are safe and it is vitally important that visitors feel secure and have the best possible experience in our capital city. Obviously what happened last week has shaken confidence so we need to ensure that it is just a fleeting rocking of confidence. All the measures that the Minister, Deputy McEntee, announced today in the Dáil Chamber will be helpful in that regard. The Minister, Deputy Coveney, and the Ministers of State, Deputies Richmond and Calleary, Fáilte Ireland, and officials from my Department also met with businesses today, including in tourism, to see what we can do to help with that. It is a case of working together on that. Fáilte Ireland will continue its regular and important engagement with An Garda Síochána and Dublin City Council on this.
