Mr. Niall Gibbons:

Activities are going to be a focus for us into the future. The Chairman referred to festivals. They are really important for us. Events such as the St. Patrick's festival, the Galway international Arts Festival - it was a tragedy this year - the big Listowel Writers' Week and the Belfast International Arts Festival are all major parts of our promotional platform overseas.

On Border counties, as an all-island agency, we would point out the importance of cross-Border dialogue. It is important that we do not let the consumer think that all these experiences just stop at the Border. A significant amount of great work has been done, going back to the Shannon-Erne project 20 years or 30 years ago. That need to be continuously built on. There is some good funding available under the PEACE initiative that we are continuing to talk to colleagues and tourist boards about to ensure the experiences do not just stop at the Border.
