Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I did not say it was on the websites but that it was being promoted as part of tourism promotion. At various events and conferences, I and others have highlighted the fact that the City of Literature status is a means of attracting visitors. Dublin Tourism, which is part of the network of tourism agencies, is promoting the concept. I foresee great opportunities next year under Culture Ireland. Rather than just promoting Ireland through music, dance and the visual arts, we can include literature also.
