Mr. Vincent Harrison:

In the previous session and this session we have discussed that we regret the failures that have happened in our responsibilities. We have worked diligently to rectify them. We have updated the committee on this today. We do not have a role in the price of hotels, airfares or other issues to which Deputy Crowe has referred. A range of factors render the competitive position of Ireland at risk in the long term and they are probably the subject for a very different debate.
