Plans afoot for 'Gathering part 2' to lure foreign tourists
The original Gathering provided a €170m economic boost and kicked off a seven-year expansion of the tourism sector.
Tourism Minister Catherine Martin is planning a 'Gathering Part 2' to lure back foreign travellers, but cannot say what year this will take place.
Ms Martin said discussions around an event on the scale of the 2013 tourism-led initiative are under way, but she cannot say if a second Gathering will go ahead next year.
