Report of Tourism Policy Review Group: Statements.
Many of the concerns referred to by Senators reflect the issues which have been outlined in Fáilte Ireland's annual visitor attitude surveys. They have also been raised by the industry itself over the last few difficult years. I have mentioned before that everyone has his or her story about the high cost of eating and drinking out, the price of food in shops and the cost of living generally. Our visitors are no different and the report of the review group quotes clear facts in this regard. Ireland's competitive position relative to other European tourism destinations is under threat and must be addressed coherently across the board.
