Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Two days in a row - the Deputy is doing well. The Government is seriously interested in expanding tourism facilities and tourist numbers because of the industry's economic potential. Without knowing all of the details, I suggest the Deputy should raise the matter with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine in the form of a Topical Issue, provided that the Ceann Comhairle gives him the authorisation to do so. The Government does not want to reduce the capacity of the tourism industry in any way.
