Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Aontú) | Oireachtas source

County Meath is blessed with many internationally recognised heritage and historic sites, including Trim Castle, Bective Abbey, the Hill of Tara, Donaghmore Round Tower, Slane Castle, Slane Hill, and Brú na Bóinne, including Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, our own valley of the kings in this country. We also have the Battle of the Boyne site, Mellifont Abbey and Drogheda. This does not even include the likes of Slieve na Calliagh, which is a neolithic tomb site in its own right, yet most of the tourism that happens in our county is a one-day bus tour from a Dublin hotel. We need to make it stickier so that people are in the county for longer. What is the Government doing to do this?
