Northern Ireland urged to support 'The Gathering' the new tourism initiative

Great to get North involved but is Executive going to give funding for Gathering projects as Failte Ireland are for projects in South?? I was under impression that Torism Ireland marketed Ireland North and South, so is funding going North? No!! according to Gathering applications!!

My nationality always applies to all of Ireland, as my U.S. citizenship applies to this whole country. During our last visit to Ireland, my wife and I spent a few days in the North, where we were guests of an active Church of Ireland member who has famiy connections with my wife, a New England Methodist. Our gracious hostess had organized a reunion of her immediate family a few years earlier, and the event was held in Kenmaire,Kerry. There is ONLY ONE IRELAND.

A great idea, the Irish economy can certainly use whatever help it can. But, count me out. I prefer traveling overseas during off-peak times, to meet the locals (except for maybe a few of the locals on this site, that spout their unwelcoming negativity with every post!).
