-----there is significant potential for tourism in the west but we need people with new ideas on the ground. I know it will not solve everything. If one has ten different things going on and one is getting a stream of income from each, one will survive. However, a person will not survive with the income from one enterprise. Is there thinking outside the box to drive enterprise into areas where there are no jobs? This is the other side of Ireland that has not been looked after in my opinion. Do the witnesses see the potential in these areas?
