Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion
Mr. Peter Walsh:
The only reason I mentioned Fáilte Ireland was that at the time we were given the task of doing a tourist product, the Dublin to Galway greenway. The first thing we generally do is to seek to understand what the demand is. However, it is not possible to traffic-model a tourist product. It needs the expertise the tourism industry can provide and that is where that information came from. That was the one piece of information that I am aware of. We are open to learning as we bring these projects forward. If we give the impression of being closed-minded, the Deputy should not take that as an indication of what TII as an organisation hopes to do with greenways.
