I respectfully ask that Fáilte Ireland examine this on the accommodation side because by Mr. Cawley's own admission there are capacity issues in some parts of the country and we want weddings, not domestic tours.

I am nearly there, I promise the Chairman. The tourism strategy 2019-24 does not include one mention of the word "China". With 130 million journeys and €277 billion in expenditure per annum, the Chinese are by a distant mile the biggest spenders, so it is unusual that we would develop a five-year strategy without a single mention of the biggest market in the world.
