National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
I also refer to the way in which the authority will deal with other aspects of the tourism industry. It was noticeable, particularly in Dublin, that in its old, unreconstructed days, Bord Fáilte had a terrible tendency to peddle only its own product and neglected other groups, cultural attractions and so on. The board must broaden its scope as it cannot get along any more peddling its own product only and not advising or briefing its staff about other issues. We need to sell the whole of Ireland, not merely what Bord Fáilte selects.
