Robert Troy (Longford-Westmeath, Fianna Fail)

I wish to ask a brief supplementary question. It relates to an issue I raised when I spoke on the tourism Bill last week. Perhaps the Minister would consider ensuring that each county has a tourism officer. The tourism officer has been lost to Westmeath in recent weeks. I do not mean to be parochial but it is important for each individual county to have someone designated specifically to market the tourism attractions in the area, or perhaps there could even be a regional officer. It is worth considering using the fund for that purpose.
