I heard on the news yesterday that the Web Summit is returning to Dublin this year from 3 to 5 November and approximately 32,000 people are expected to take part. In conjunction with the Web Summit last year, the Surf Summit was held in Sligo and it had approximately 200 participants. This year it is anticipated that up to 800 participants will take part in the Surf Summit on the Wild Atlantic Way. Undoubtedly, Ireland's west coast is now a world renowned destination for international surfers. This will be a major boost to the tourism industry in November both in Dublin and in Sligo and its surrounding counties. I welcome this great news for tourism.
