We are in a rather uncertain period in the aftermath of the UK referendum result on 23 June. I am delighted that the staff complement dealing with Brexit in the Department of the Taoiseach has been seriously beefed up. That is necessary as we head into the crucial negotiations that will take place at EU level.

Arising from that, one area that is vital to our economy and could be adversely affected is tourism. It is vital to every part of the country. In light of that, I encourage the Leader to have an early debate on tourism so that we can hear from the Minister what plans he has for the domestic tourism market.
