I thank the Member for her question. My Department and Tourism NI have a particular focus on that. While we want everyone to experience the fleadh in Belfast, there is so much on offer across our region, and we want to encourage people to stay a while and experience what else is on offer. We — Tourism NI in particular — are actively working on that and on how we can build on this year's experience and understand visitor behaviours. Straight off the back of this year's fleadh ending, we were straight in the market with promotion and putting marketing material on social media to encourage people to book for next year. I am sure that we will have bigger numbers next year and that our offering will be bigger and better.
