This again relates to a decision by Fáilte Ireland, in this instance to shut its office at Dublin Airport a mere two years after it shut down its office in Terminal 2, meaning that we will have no tourist office in the country's biggest airport. It is becoming a bit of a trend when one considers that it also shut down its office in Newgrange and moved the staff to the city centre. Airport staff are now being told they have to move to the city centre making it a very Dublin-centred organisation. I wonder how Fáilte Ireland is achieving its objective of developing Ireland as a destination if it does not even have a location in our main airport. What are the Minister of State's thoughts in that regard?
