Question:28 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Tourism, Transport and Communications if she will outline her plans for the future of Bord Fáilte.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 23, 26 and 28, together.
The Tourism Task Force expect to make their final report in September. The terms of reference include making whatever proposals are thought necessary for the future commercial development of the industry. I intend reviewing the role of Bord Fáilte and local tourism structures in the light of their proposals.
