The Leader might invite him to the House to discuss how we might expand the country's tourism product. We have great products - cycling, fishing, golf and walking - and it is much easier and cheaper to pursue them in Ireland than in any other country in Europe. For instance, Ireland is probably the cheapest place in the world to play golf. The accessibility and number of golf courses make it easy for people to play, but we are not promoting golf enough. We have some great golfers the length and breadth of the country. Cycling, walking, fishing and hill climbing are other activities. Accessing our greenways, mountains, rivers and lakes is easy for people who like those activities.

Will the Leader invite to the House the new Minister of State after he gets his feet under the table in order that he might provide an outline of where our tourism products are heading?
