Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

2:15 pm

Mr. Ian Brannigan:

We will come back to the research point because there are some thoughts. We want to avoid duplication. Tourism, for example, is well served so we look for niche tourism areas on which to work with Fáilte Ireland and local authorities. We are heavily invested in the medical device sector, so we understand big industry. We also understand, however, the issue of microbusinesses and the rural aspect of people choosing to be there for quality of life.
