It is not just the €500,000 worth of damage to the aeroplane that is regrettable but the damage to the image of the region and the country as a whole. People who are not interested in peaceful protest have succeeded in putting us in the headlines in the United States – a market that has been significant for us in terms of business and tourism. The protest has involved people from outside the State who have decided to congregate in our country and create problems for the Government – which is not directly involved – rather than in the so-called war-mongering nations of the United States or the United Kingdom. The knock-on effect is the unwanted damage to our international reputation. We have successfully generated an image of being at the forefront of the development of peace, particularly in Northern Ireland, but this image is being lost during this period of worldwide unease.
