Cycle Tourism the Solution to Economic Woes – Gormless

Green Party Leader, De Fintly Gormless could not

conceal his happiness with the outcome of negotiations


The Program for Government published at the weekend finally identified the key to Ireland’s economic recovery.


“Cycle tourism is totally underdeveloped in Ireland and sure isn’t it grand cycling here in the rain, - not that I’d know since I’m a government Minister and have a car and driver – but you get my meaning” said Green Party Leader, Defintly Gormless, at a press conference on Tuesday.


“Anyone can see that if only 10% of the European population came to Ireland on cycle tours, that would mean 35 million visitors per year flying here by Ryanair, and if each tourist spent only €1.000 per week and had a two week holiday, that would bring €96 billion into the Irish economy if I’ve got my sums rights – and they were prepared by the Department of Finance. Essentially, cycle tourism can be counted on to wipe out the entire national debt within 15 months.”


“So there you go, economic crisis solved. I've really no idea why everyone was making a big drama about it. ”
