National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Committee Stage.

 

I do not wish to pick on Bord Fáilte in particular because, after all, that organisation will soon be history. We must now look to the future and make sure that the present information gaps are not repeated. I commend this amendment to the House. Having spoken on this topic many times, I do not wish to labour the point at this stage. The ability to communicate by electronic means, at the touch of a button, has many obvious advantages in terms of speed, accessibility and cost. I urge the Minister to insist that the new National Tourism Development Authority is not merely allowed to publish via its website, as all other bodies do, but that it is actually compelled to publish in electronic format for maximum accessibility.
