I appreciate the Minister of State's support and I recognise that the Department and Fáilte Ireland have been assisting. I would like to impress on the Minister of State the need to ensure personal endorsement at Government level while the selectors are here. I would ask the Minister of State or the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to meet them during that period and to use their charms to impress on them the fact this is important to the entire Government, it is not just the Department or agencies. In the same way David Cameron is throwing his weight behind it, we must do the same with the Taoiseach and Ministers. It is crucial in making the difference between being in the top three and being selected.
