Investment in visitor attractions will be increased threefold to €22 million.

As an imaginative initiative to increase tourism numbers next year, Iarnród Éireann has agreed to participate in a new scheme, to be developed by Fáilte Ireland, aimed at senior citizens visiting Ireland from abroad. This group will be offered vouchers for greatly discounted rail travel throughout Ireland. More information on this initiative will be given by Fáilte Ireland and Iarnród Éireann in the coming weeks when the details have been finalised.
