Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Question 29: To ask the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport if he is satisfied that the tourism sector is likely to develop and expand sufficiently in the course of 2012 to maximise its potential contribution to the generation of employment with consequent reduction in the live register and thereby creating a positive economic impact; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
