Deputy Deasy raised this matter with me last week and I gave him a commitment that I would give Waterford County Council an opportunity to make a presentation to Fáilte Ireland. This meeting will take place next week. At the end of the day, the reason why the Government came up with the Wild Atlantic Way and Ancient East initiatives was to get visitors to visit the south east, which is Deputy Halligan's county, so he cannot fault us for not coming up with initiatives.

A total of €10 million was put into the Wild Atlantic Way. A total of €10.5 million was put into the Waterford Viking Triangle, which is a great project.
