One of the most important sectors in terms of business opportunities is tourism. Senator Paschal Mooney regularly reminds us of this, but every time we look for changes to encourage tourism, there always seems to be someone saying the changes would not suit.

The recent effort in Dún Laoghaire to erect a cruise ship berth is being criticised by the local yacht clubs because it will interfere with it. Let us ensure we have one approach that sees an opportunity and a challenge and does something about it. Tourism has been successful in recent years. It has been particularly helped by the Government's decision to reduce the VAT rate applicable to that business. That is not enough. Can we get everyone in the country saying that we should get behind anything that is going to bring about change?

Another source of concern is small businesses that have websites but are not equipped to trade on these sites. This is a big opportunity. A huge amount of business can be done through online trade. I recall going into a small shop in Estonia where two or three people worked, but I was taken upstairs where there were half a dozen working on the Internet, trading around Europe. This is another opportunity about which we can do something. It would be well worthwhile debating it in this House to get a wider view, not just that of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
