There is more co-operation now between Bord Fáilte and the OPW in developing and promotion of sites, nationally and internationally. While a good deal of our visitors come from England, if the Brexit brings borders with different exchanges or whatever, there could be difficulties. Under Brexit, each Department and agency, including Bord Fáilte, is looking at the implications for visitor numbers coming to Ireland. Bord Fáilte is involved in the promotion. What we are doing is ensuring we work with Bord Fáilte in promotion and also ensuring the facilities are fit for purpose when people come to visit.
