Tourism Promotion
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-15
============================================================

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

It is certainly not the case that Kildare should be versus Louth or Louth versus Kildare. Both Kildare and Louth are the two key locations in the story of St. Brigid. By taking them together, there is potential for opening really exciting tourism possibilities for Ireland's Ancient East. I am glad that Deputy Ó Murchú is speaking about that here. He is talking about the potential of the two counties, rather than pitting one against the other. The two tourism agencies are, of course, open to engaging with Louth County Council on future development opportunities regarding St. Brigid, and as I said, there is huge potential for Louth, Kildare, the entire Ireland's Ancient East region and the island.
