I thank the Member for his question. I updated the House previously that Fáilte Ireland is evaluating the effectiveness of the Ireland's Ancient East brand. As far as I understand, that evaluation is not complete. When it is, I will continue to engage with Fáilte Ireland on the extension of that brand. There are huge opportunities for the inclusion of Counties Armagh and Down in particular, but also counties further afield, in that brand offering. The inclusion of those counties, and the many attractions that they have, would add significantly to what is currently on offer through the brand.
