I would like to be associated with the remarks of the Leader and others in offering sympathy to Senator John Kelly on the sudden death of his father. We recently experienced the sad passing of our colleague, Nicky McFadden. I did not know the former Member, Sam McAughtry, who also died last week, but he was a great man and I often listened to him on radio.

I do not understand the amendment, but I respect Senator Darragh O'Brien's right to propose it as a parliamentary tactic. In fairness, the Attorney General is the most diligent officer of the State-----

The evidence would not bear that out.

-----and she is a good person.

Senators Sean D. Barrett and Terry Brennan referred to the reduction in the travel tax to zero from today, which is a great move.

As has been said, last year, that of the The Gathering, was the greatest since 2008 for inbound tourism. We had the honour yesterday at the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly meeting in Kilmainham of listening to Mr. Michael O'Leary, who was extremely bullish about the situation. That is very heartening because he is often decried and criticised as a bit of a hard man. However, he has softened his image successfully and I believe he is a man of his word. Ryanair is to put 150 to 175 new aeroplanes into service. This is tremendous for the country.

He is good, but he is not that good.

In fairness, it is good. The Minister and Mr. O'Leary are at one in trying to secure much more direct inbound tourism and air services. The Minister wants to increase the number of ferry services. I welcome these objectives very much. It augurs well for us.

I welcome the announcement by my colleague, the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Jimmy Deenihan, of the next phase of the restoration of Killarney House and Gardens. Some €1.1 million has been made available for this and it is beginning immediately. As Members know-----

A large percentage of the national budget is going on it.

That matter could be raised on the Adjournment.

I appreciate that, but this is something that has just happened. I have been campaigning during the years-----

The Senator is way over time.

This is going to be an outstanding visitor attraction.

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

I have, of course. Perhaps I will take the Cathaoirleach up on his suggestion of an Adjournment debate. Seriously, however, this initiative is great for tourism, not just for the region but also for the country as a whole, because the visitor attraction will be outstanding. I will take the opportunity in due course to invite all Members down to see it.

Bravo.
