Mr. Michael Cawley:

My preference would be to see more community involvement rather than institutionalising anything. I was in the west last week and we had feedback from community involvement on the Aran Islands and out in Clifden. Our visit coincided with an arts festival in Clifden. There was incredible activity, all run voluntarily. One could put a bureaucracy down on top of that and kill it, in my view. We will work with any community, whether on a voluntary or institutional basis. We do not discriminate. However, it is much better if the community owns the undertaking. The Gathering, for example, was essentially community-based and rose up from the bottom. If people own the project, it gives the customer and the visitor a much better experience.
