No confirmed timeframe for delivery of 'Gathering Part 2', says Minister

Cliffs of Moher, Co Clare: The Programme for Government highlights the importance of the tourism sector to the economy and states that the warmth of our welcome, the beauty of our landscape and the richness of our culture are enduring strengths that we can build on.
Tourism Minister Catherine Martin has yet to decide what year to hold a 'Gathering Part 2' despite it being a key priority for 2023 in the Programme for Government.
While proposals have been drawn up and submitted to the Department of Tourism around a year-long agenda of events to lure tourists from abroad, no decision has been made on when it should go ahead or in what format.
