Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I have said that I wish him well. We have fallen down in regard to tourism over the past several years. Even though we have an unprecedented number of hotel rooms and air routes and our infrastructure is better than ever, we have never received so few tourists. We have never had more golf courses. While we have the products, including golf courses, rivers, lakes and mountains, we have no tourists. We are not marketing the country properly. The Government should ask Michael O'Leary to fill all the empty hotels. I assure the Minister of State that if the Government entered into a contract with him, I have no doubt that he would fill them overnight.
