Tourism Industry: Statements (Resumed).
Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)
I welcome the Minister's timely address to the House. It is difficult to analyse the causes of the decline in the tourism industry. It is easy to pinpoint the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in early 2001 and the 11 September attacks as major reasons for the decline, but perhaps the Minister could tell us if signs of the decline were apparent prior to those two major events.
