I agree entirely with the Deputy on the need to ensure visitors are informed about what there is to see in this country. The success of the Wild Atlantic Way took all of us, even Fáilte Ireland, by surprise. It was a good idea which was marketed very well. In the aftermath of The Gathering, it was a question of finding the next big idea and that big idea has been extraordinarily successful. We now need to consider how we can capitalise on it. Identification, notification, postering and proper preparation of sites are all essential and that work is ongoing, as I indicated. I would welcome suggestions the Deputy might have in this regard and will pass them on to the OPW.
