Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for her reply. However, I note she did not make any reference to the travel tax. Based on her experience yesterday, is the Minister willing to host a tourism forum similar to what happened in Farmleigh regarding the economy? I am concerned that the top end of the market is under severe pressure. We are all driven by value and competitiveness and the top end of the market is falling. Dublin city centre is lacking upper-end hotel accommodation. What is there between the top of Gardiner Street to the top of Grafton Street? Cork does not have a convention centre and does not receive assistance from Government in this regard.
