On Committee Stage I look forward to questioning the Minister in order to clarify certain issues in this regard. The regional authorities did an excellent job, although complaints arose about overlapping of responsibility for tourism promotion, in some instances by local authorities which had tourism committees. I refer to the midlands region where we had Shannon Development which did an excellent job in tourism promotion in south west Offaly, north Tipperary, County Clare and part of north Kerry. However, there was always a problem with those who believed they were on the periphery of an area and whose tourism interests were not being looked after. Those involved in tourism looked at the size of some of the tourism organisations – Western Tourism and so on – and believed they were too big to concentrate on particular specialised areas of tourism.
