Peter Burke (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I am happy to bring in the stakeholders to see how we can improve the offering. I have no objection to that, especially when, as the Deputy has well described, the asset could have great potential. That is what we need to do. We need to get back to the authentic beauty that Ireland has to offer and the authentic céad míle fáilte that we are so renowned for worldwide. We can do a huge amount of work on that in the upcoming tourism plan, on which I look forward to working with all my colleagues. The tourism officer has had a number of meetings with the DEDP implementation group. I would be happy for us to do further work, have that meeting and talk to the various stakeholders.
