Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy claims to know Kerry very well but he is not describing a place that I recognise when I go there. It is a very vibrant county with fantastic towns. It still attracts huge numbers of tourists that increase each year who come for the experience of the music, the culture and fun. The Deputy might be in the business of talking Kerry down but I am not.
