Sandra McLellan (Cork East, Sinn Fein)

Other countries that have identified a decline in tourism in key destinations have taken steps to reverse the trend. Will the Minister be considering such tourism destinations in Ireland, including Youghal and Cork city, to determine what steps can be taken to reverse the decline and make them more vibrant again? Will he consider helping those who manage heritage sites in Cork to offer day trips from Cork city to other areas in order to boost the sector? Is a mechanism or grants facility available to his Department to facilitate a strategic marina development in Youghal, given its important strategic position?
