Sir, - I applaud the analysis of the potential collapse facing Irish tourism next year in your Editorial, "Serious risk to tourism" (September 26th).
The Government and the industry must act now if a disaster costing Ireland up to 20,000 job losses is to be averted. Ryanair has guaranteed to bring a million additional passengers to Ireland next year, and a further million in the following year.

What in the name of God is the Minister for Public Enterprise waiting for? - Yours, etc.
