First, we are missing some members from the board of Tourism Ireland. I am looking forward to having these places filled because they have to be nominated by the Northern Ireland executive. Additionally, our proposed new chair of the organisation, Alice Mansergh, still remains as chair-designate. We look forward to her taking up the role fully. Obviously, though, there are great benefits in having Tourism Ireland up and running as an all-island body, to have us all working together and for me to meet the new Minister in Northern Ireland with responsibility in this area. We are reaching out to set up an informal meeting before the North South Ministerial Council meets, which we hope will happen in a few weeks.
