Senator Tuffy raised the environmental issue and Bord Fáilte's involvement. There are many activities and orientations with which the authority will be involved. Bord Fáilte has a long record of concern in the environmental area. It was probably well ahead of other State development agencies in this regard. The twin pillars of Irish tourism have always been people and place. The physical environment is one of our more fundamental tourism assets. Bord Fáilte's role under the planning acts will transfer to the new tourism authority upon the enactment of the legislation. Bord Fáilte's Tourism Development Plan 2000-2006 and its current product development scheme are infused with a clear environmental orientation. Nevertheless, it is true that the staff resources devoted to the environmental area have declined in recent years due to the priority given to international marketing. That process needs to be reversed. The joint Bord Fáilte-CERT group which laid the ground work for the merger earlier in the year recommended that the new authority have a strong environmental focus.
