Martin enters Kenny country promising tourism revival

MICHEÁL MARTIN swept through Enda Kenny’s heartland promising to revive the tourism industry if he successfully thwarts the Fine Gael leader’s bid to become taoiseach.

The tourism and hospitality sector in the north-west has struggled and this worsened because of Government cutbacks.

However, Mr Martin said if returned to office he would deliver one million extra visitors to Ireland by 2015 and this would result in an extra 15,000 jobs.
