Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).

 

Aer Lingus needs to reduce its fares. One of the few successes of the Fine Gael led Government in the mid-1980s was to grant Ryanair a licence. That was a tremendous success and the more competition there is in the airline market the better. I agree with Senator Leyden's comments in this regard. Tourism Ireland Limited was established to market Ireland, North and South, and the recent upheaval in Northern Ireland is worrying. People involved in the tourism industry are concerned about how the industry will be affected.
