I take issue with a particular feature of the tourism industry here. In Dublin one meets worldwide tour operators which are given guidance as to where they should send tourists. Invariably the tourists who arrive in Dublin are taken to the south. It is up to every elected representative to fight for his or her own patch and I will be fighting for my corner in the western region. I make no bones about it, although there are Senators here from the southern region. The vast majority of tour operators go south of a line from Dublin to Galway and the rest of the country plays the role of poor relation. I urge the Minister to give equal treatment to all regions.
