Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I assure the Deputy that the issues he raises are being discussed in the context of the forthcoming budget. The industry is the one element that will ensure the strategy is implemented for the benefit of the tourism sector. I have never encountered as enthusiastic and resilient a group as those involved in tourism. The industry is determined to ensure it is a success and the Government is working closely with it to achieve this objective.
