FF aims to attract 8m visitors to Ireland

Fianna Fáil today unveiled its tourism policy saying it wants to increase visitor numbers to Ireland to 8 million by 2015, a move that has the potential to create 15,000 jobs in the sector.

"We recognise that the tourism industry is a labour-intensive sector that will provide job opportunities and foreign revenue earnings as the economy recovers," party leader Micheál Martin said.
