I propose to take Questions Nos. 24, 48, 55 and 56 together.
The term of office of the Tourism Council expired recently and I am at present considering the new arrangements for the appointment of the next council. I am not yet in a position to say when such a council will be established. As Deputies will be aware, tourism is one of the areas mentioned under strand II of the agreement for co-operation and I am, accordingly, awaiting further developments.
