As regards the recommendations in the report directed at my Department and the tourism State agencies, I am pleased to report that a number of the actions are already underway. For example, the tourism unit of the Department has been re-configured, advertisements seeking expressions of interest in relation to the national conference centre have been placed in the media and bilateral consultations have taken place with the Department of Finance on taxation issues and with the Department of Health and Children on the anti-smoking regulations. I have been advised that Fáilte Ireland is taking account of the recommended actions and suggested timescales relevant to it in its operational planning for the remainder of this year and next year.
