Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Just this week, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, in conjunction with the Taoiseach, published the national tourism strategy, People, Place and Policy - Growing Tourism to 2025. The document sets out a wonderful and innovative policy and strategy. In the context of the regions, in particular, the city of Cork, I ask the Taoiseach to arrange a debate in the House on how we can increase tourism at regional level. If we are to realise the potential for growth in tourism and meet the targets set out in the strategy, it is important to have a debate in the Dáil.
