National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I hope when the Bill is enacted and the new board is in place that all the regions will get their fair share of funding. Every region is different and has something to offer tourists. I agree with previous speakers that this country may not be as friendly as it was. There are a number of reasons for that. However, we still have a great product. Fishing is a great sport and tourist attraction. More could be done to develop some of our lakes and rivers. Some fisheries boards are starved of funds to upgrade rivers and lakes. Funds could be used to promote Ireland as a fishing destination and a sporting destination.
