============================================================

Brendan Smith (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

We all warmly welcome the restoration of the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive, and that enables the North–South Ministerial Council to function. As we all know, Tourism Ireland, as one of the six implementation bodies, has a remit to promote the island of Ireland overseas as a premier holiday destination. I sincerely hope the Minister will have an opportunity at an early date to meet her new counterpart in the Northern Ireland Executive to give impetus to the good work of Tourism Ireland and show determination to develop further the tourism product on cross-Border and all-Ireland bases, which is critical to employment in every parish in the island.
