I have mentioned a number of the key issues facing tourism. While the Bill is not about any of these factors in themselves, it is about putting in place a strong and well resourced body with a clear mandate to take whatever actions are appropriate to ensure these issues are properly and fully addressed. The integration of functions within this new agency should provide a better range of streamlined programmes and services to support the future development of the sector. This new body will be charting the future course of tourism and will build on the existing knowledge, skills and experience within Bord Fáilte and CERT.
