National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-18
============================================================

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabhail leis na Teachtaí go léir a labhair sa díospóireacht seo agus a chuir a dtuairimí faoi fhorbairt fhoriomlán thurasóireacht na hÉireann in iúl. I thank all the Deputies who contributed to the debate and offered their views on the overall development of Irish tourism. It is proof of the importance of the industry, which reaches into all parts of the country, both rural and urban. Many of them have been named in the last 30 minutes in particular. Tourism is a valuable source of employment for many thousands of people. I have no issue with towns, communities and regions. If there was ever an appropriate moment to name our areas, it is during a debate on tourism, so it is to be welcomed. There is no time for me to name all the places in Dublin Rathdown and County Monaghan so I will not elaborate.
