Conor Murphy: ...deter tourists from including the North in their itinerary. I see it as a real risk to the huge growth potential for tourism here. That view is shared by the industry.

Matthew O'Toole: ...for that. Let me be clear, however, that I welcome his intent and that we look forward to that intent being implemented through action.
