Minister for Tourism and Trade (Mr. E. Kenny)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 36 and 124 together.

The Overseas Tourism Marketing Initiative is undertaking consumer advertising campaigns this year in Ireland's four most important tourism markets: Britain, the United States, Germany and France.

The net amount contributed by the trade, both overseas and Ireland-based, as of 30 September 1995 is £1,109,000.
