I spoke earlier but this is an important issue. The Minister for Justice and Equality eventually accepted the Bill moved by Deputy Kelly and the Labour Party to allow visitor centres in microbreweries and distilleries where customers can taste and purchase products. While I was still on Cork County Council, the previous Government had enjoyed great success in launching the Wild Atlantic Way along the west coast, which had people coming to the council looking for signage for the Wild Atlantic Way for the eastern side of Cork city.

The Minister is creating a fierce prohibition on the promotion of these businesses. How many of those who are present in the Chamber know where Ballyduff in west Waterford is?
