Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).
We should encourage more European tourists to come here. Swedish people have an enormous interest in Ireland. Bogs have a particular attraction for them and they love to walk on an Irish bog. I have been involved with a Swedish group which brings people to seminars here. I am aware that there has been an attempt by Bord Fáilte to bring groups here for that purpose. County council seminars are very attractive to them, particularly in the off-season.
