Ms Joan Martin:

The greenway will now go from Carlingford. It already goes to Omeath. Omeath will now become the centre of the greenway, because the greenway will continue. We had 80,000 visitors on that greenway last year. Some 80,000 people either walked or cycled it. That is a phenomenal number of people for something that has barely opened. It is the most incredibly beautiful greenway, sitting right on the shores of the lough. It is things like that and those cross-Border projects that have the ability to be catalysts for enormous leaps forward in tourism numbers and economic development for the area. We might have created a pessimistic picture, but by nature and on a day-to-day basis, I am very optimistic. I am optimistic about the potential for the growth of tourism in Louth, because we are starting from a very low base. I am not as pessimistic as I might sound.
