I welcome the great news that broke over the weekend that Lissadell House in Sligo is to reopen. My colleague, Senator Conway, mentioned the tourism industry, and this will have a major impact on it. Lissadell used to attract approximately 40,000 visitors when it was going well. Unfortunately, the case was before the courts and the house closed for approximately five years. The Taoiseach will reopen it on Friday, which is very good. The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Deenihan, will come to the Seán MacDiarmada Summer School on Friday evening and this will have a major impact on tourism in the west and north west as we approach 2016. Hopefully, it will bring large numbers of people into the area, and the two events combined will be very positive.

I welcome the announcement this morning that those who lost their medical cards will have them returned.
