I have already asked the Leader to invite the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Varadkar, to the House. This is because cultural institutions are a main source of tourism revenue. An extraordinary number of visitors, Irish and non-Irish, visit our cultural institutions and I strongly encourage them to continue to do so. I do not want to single out the National Library of Ireland. How many hospitality outlets are charging exorbitant prices that will not help the tourism industry? That is why I ask whether it is an opportunity for the Minister to encourage the Irish hospitality sector to ensure it does not exploit tourists coming into the country.
