The UUP Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, Sir Reg Empey, launched a tourism task force for the North yesterday. He said while the Irvinestown bomb was a setback, it should not put people off visiting Northern Ireland. The task force, which will be led by Mr Roy Bailie, chairman of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, is to address deficiencies "which detract from a total quality holiday experience across Northern Ireland".
