Local Government Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

There are seven or eight tourism boards in this country. At times one does not know exactly what they are doing. They have no real interest in promoting particular areas of counties. We have beautiful amenities in the midlands, including the River Shannon, but they are seldom mentioned. I am a member of the Midlands-East Regional Tourism Authority, but Longford seldom receives any kudos from it. We know what is happening in our county and what should be promoted and developed. The role of promoting tourism should be handed back to local people.
