The Minister will be fully aware of the impact Killarney National Park has had on the development of tourism in Killarney, County Kerry and the south-west region. It is one of the jewels in the crown of our tourism industry, drawing hundreds of thousands of people to the area. Glenveagh National Park has also made a significant impact in County Donegal. It is unfortunate that controversy about locations in one of our most interesting regions, the Burren area of my constituency, has hindered the development of the national park in that area. The issue of interpretation centres needs to be resolved as it is vitally important that there is no delay in advancing the development of a national park in the Burren. The area, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors, is badly in need of management. It appears the whole concept has been abandoned because of the row over the interpretative centre, despite land being purchased. It is essential that the decision to make the Burren a national park is not left in abeyance because of disputes over the detail.
