What a tremendous initiative, Mick. We at this list all know how welcoming Carlow is, but you can find hundreds of thousands more like us in the diaspora, just from Co Carlow, who don't yet know. There are so many things that Carlow does right but there can always be more, and they can make points of difference in comparison to other counties. One facility that could be set up would be to encourage feedback and suggestions from members of that diaspora who have visited or may be wishing to. I can think right now of a handful of suggestions that I would make. Probably like so many of us over the seas, I have links to Counties Carlow, Mayo, Laois, Armagh, Dublin and Wicklow, but I would happily make Carlow my base on a visit if you keep it the easiest and friendliest place to do so. As would others. I wish the meeting every success.
