Mr. Paul Kelly:

There are a number of places where we tell that story. The GPO Witness History Museum and, as the Senator has said, Kilmainham Gaol are two that stand out and are very near here, together with the Michael Collins Centre down in Clonakilty and various other places around the country. It is important when looking at that story that it is told sensitively.

We are looking at developing destinations by using stories that are distinctive to an area. Every parish in every county has great history and great stories from various parts of history. What we have to see is what is unique to an area as well as being compelling and of interest to visitors. If we invest in projects that do not meet all of these criteria, we will put taxpayers' money into things that will not necessarily give a return to the local community and economy. We have to make sure that they are of interest to visitors and distinctive - in other words, they are not the exactly the same as something else down the road. This is our developmental point of view. I am sure it is difficult for Mr. Gibbons to market.
