National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Many of our historic sites need quite a bit of work by Dúchas and the Office of Public Works. It is next to impossible to park a car next to some of our historic sites, let alone buses. If we want to attract tourists, we must provide facilities and ensure when people visit areas, they are welcomed and there is proper parking. While excellent work has been done at some sites, other important sites have practically nothing – there has been no development whatever. When families visit particular regions, one family member may have a specific interest in the area and the rest explore the area. We must ensure they go home to spread the good news in order that others will visit the area.
