I thank the Minister of State for his response. He has undoubtedly done a great deal of work with tourism initiatives in his county of Mayo, on which I commend him.

The Wild Atlantic Way has been a major success. Anyone caught in a traffic jam between Kilcolgan and Kinvara understands that. I welcome the consideration of adding loops to the route. They would be beneficial for areas involved. Something of a loop is already in place in Gort in the form of the Lady Gregory and Yeats heritage trail. It should be included on a map of loops. Even an extra page on the Wild Atlantic Way's website would be an ideal reference. The Minister of State's response was welcome.
