When I dealt with the sector, an issue which came to the fore was that places such as Hook Lighthouse and Dunbrody are not economical on their own and they were funded through the community services programme. If more lighthouses and other loss leaders are to be opened up, more social economy will be required whereby unemployed people will be brought in and paid a little extra. These places will provide basic focal points for people to visit. How important is this in developing the product?
