Minister for Tourism and Trade (Mr. McCreevy): I propose to take Questions Nos. 32, 53 and 60 together.

The CERT survey to which the Deputies refer is not yet completed and will not be available to me until early summer.

When the results are available, I will have them analysed in the context of an overall strategic review of manpower and training needs for the tourism sector, which my Department has initiated with CERT and all other interested parties.
