Deputy Murphy is right; golf is very important. That is why Tourism Ireland will promote Ireland as a golfing capital. We should build on the records of the world champions we have produced. For a small country, the number of internationally renowned golfers we have is a credit to the country. There is no doubt that with golf being included in the 2016 Olympics, it will be a very important sport for Ireland. We have the courses available at reasonable prices. If people want to go to top or middle ranking courses, they are available here. We must get out now and sell those courses and make sure we can get people into the country to see these facilities.
