I am not sure who is coming from my group. I will take as much time as I can. I thank the Minister, Deputy Burke, for coming to Clonmel some time ago and visiting what is known as the old Bulmer's site right in the centre of the town. It is a project that needs to be developed with something along the lines of the Guinness Storehouse, or something of the same nature. The Minister saw the vats, the history and the feeling of the work that went on there, the craftsmanship with the old barrels and the many hundreds of people who worked there. I remember, as a buachaill óg, drawing in apples on a tractor and trailer back in the 1960s. Tipperary is a very proud county and we have Tipperary Tourism doing its best. I will start in south Tipperary with the Rock of Cashel, the wonderful cultural centre brought to fruition there by iar-Sheanadóir Labhrás Ó Murchú agus a bhean chéile, Úna, and the culture there as well. I will also move on to Cahir Castle. Cahir Developments Association has done so much development around there, with Cahir Tidy Towns. I also cannot say enough about the community groups, including Knockmealdown Active, Knockmealdown Crossing and all the different groups. Ballyporeen has its own music festival. They are struggling and not getting enough supports. They need more supports and we need more connectivity. If you go on then to Carrick-on-Suir, there is Ormond Castle. The castle at Carrick-on-Suir is a wonderful castle. The whole Ormond Castle trail could be more interlinked and there could be more connectivity in it. We want to get the tourists in, look after them and give them the product. Mar fhocal scoir, I want to say to the Minister that the Government has such a confusing message with the short-term lets. People who have developed them in their farmyards and adjacent to their farmhouses, and who have little business going there, are totally in limbo with the Government. They do not know whether they are coming or going.
