Mr. Ian Talbot:

I will address one aspect and Mr. Malone will address the other. Most chambers are involved in tourism initiatives locally. We have been trying to provide guidance and leadership on chambers working together in larger clusters. For example, most chambers on the west coast have joined the Atlantic economic corridor chamber group. Recently, it published a position paper on the development of infrastructure and tourism initiatives on the west coast. That is the sort of work that we are trying to do. Mr. Malone has mentioned already, and will continue to mention incessantly, the Carlingford area in Dundalk and how we have to treat it as a single region rather than two sides of the Border. We are involved in trying to bring tourism initiatives and in opening up what Ireland has to markets other than Britain. The chambers of commerce are focused on trying to establish links with their respective diasporas in other jurisdictions. For example, the Mayo and Tipperary chambers are focused on trying to find their diasporas.
