I offer congratulations to the Minister of State, Deputy Griffin, on his appointment to his new role. He is only in the role a wet day and the questions are coming. What new initiatives have been taken by the Department since the vote on Brexit in Britain to ensure Ireland is prepared to deal with the expected drop in visitor numbers from Britain? What are the Minister's plans to ensure the tourism sector diversifies in attracting visitors from other countries and in improving tourism amenities here going forward? Will the Minister make a statement on the matter?
