I suggest there are two reasons for the decline in the number of visitors. The Minister needs to scrutinise both. The events of 11 September 2001 together with the outbreak of foot and mouth disease and other issues highlighted today are the first factor. There is, however, a more fundamental reason, namely, that Ireland has become too expensive as a tourist destination. With the best will in the world there is no way the Minister will resolve all the problems in the tourism industry during his term of office. However, if he could resolve a few critical areas, he will have made a major contribution to the health and development of the sector, one which will see visitor numbers rapidly increase again. A target should be to double the number of visitors in the next five years.
