Peter Burke is promising more work for the tourism industry in 2026.
The Enterprise Minister is aiming to attract more tourism to the midlands this year.
A new plan for tourism, launched by the government labelled 'A New Era for Irish Tourism' policy includes a section dedicated to EU Just Transition Fund projects in Laois, Offaly, and Westmeath.
Tourism Minister and Longford-Westmeath TD Peter Burke believes luring tourists into a less mature market is key.
He says the midlands has lots to offer:
