Martin Conway (Fine Gael)

I thank the Leader for the work he has done to ensure the project will be foremost in the mind of the Government. It is unfortunate that Fáilte Ireland has washed its hands of it and stated it is a matter for Shannon Development. I would like the Leader to write to Fáilte Ireland to point to the importance of the competition for Irish tourism, not just the industry in County Clare. He should ask the Government to instruct Fáilte Ireland to become an active participant in the project.

I wish everyone a nice, restful summer. We have been productive in what has been my first term in the House. The manner in which we have done our business has been extremely professional.
