The Price Waterhouse report is a result of the White Paper on Tourism published in 1985. The Minister has informed us that he is due to publish a five year plan on tourism. Surely, there should be a full debate in this House on the findings of the Price Waterhouse report, which I believe, cost well in excess of £1 million? In essence, the report is a summary, and a criticism, for that matter, of the second largest industry in the country. There should be no question of the Minister publishing a plan until this House has had the opportunity to discuss this report in full.

As the Deputy knows, the report has been published already. In addition, submissions had been invited from all concerned. In all my time in public life I do not suppose that I have ever met an industry which is more cooperative and anxious to make a contribution to tourism policy. The industry are very anxious that we should have an efficient tourism policy to deal with the areas of product development competitiveness and marketing. I must correct the former Minister, Deputy Deasy. He was correct when he said that the Price Waterhouse report was commissioned by the previous Government. However, its cost was about £250,000, not £1 million.

I believe the Minister has endorsed the points I made. The enthusiasm of the industry should be harnessed by having a full Dáil debate?

That is what I am doing 22 out of 24 hours every single day.

Should we not have a full debate in this House before any plan is drawn up?

That question has been asked a few times.

Could we have an answer to that question?

If the Deputy puts down the question I will answer it.
