Report of Tourism Policy Review Group: Statements.
The report places considerable emphasis on access transport. Both Ryanair and Aer Lingus have diversified their routes, as have others. I look forward to further diversification on North American routes. I am delighted that at last we again have a direct air link with Canada. In the past month there has been an important European Union proposal to give us help in establishing a direct ferry link to Spain. Not only will this benefit us, but also it will considerably increase the number of people travelling to Ireland from Spain and Portugal. We should take up that offer with open arms and get on with it.
