Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein)

I have heard the Minister's reply. I still believe there is much scope for linking up as regards tourism and the promotion of the canals and boating, for example. There is a significant potential to push this forward. We should aim to push forward an all-Ireland tourism approach and not to have a fragmented approach with money being expended in duplication. Proper co-ordination would result in a far better advertisement for the whole island of Ireland.
