from Dublin, from Cork.
And that's why we find that we have quite a lot of domestic interest, but also international interest.
The challenge for us is the packaging of that.
And it's the selling of that, of the destination and the discovery of that destination.
It does, yeah.
So the trails are run by trail management organisations, TMOs, the state refers to them as.
And those organisations are voluntary and they work with the local communities.
There's 12 different towns and villages along the trail.
That TMO has to be really well connected, not only to the communities, but then also to the landowners.
And St Eclin's Way has over 60 landowners that it deals with from Cashel to Ardmore.
And each one of those individuals is very important.
Some of them are either living on the trail, they're living nearby, they are the eyes and ears in terms of the trail condition.
And of course, the trail has to be in good condition in order for people to have an enjoyable walking experience.
So that is the fundamentally important piece that the state supports very well in terms of producing good quality walking trails and ensuring that they're
maintained to a consistently high standard.
It's the marketing of that then where it's falling back really on the set of volunteers, David, at the moment to try to do that.
Running events like Knockmill Down Active ran a great six-day walking event earlier on this year on the trail with over a thousand walkers on it.
But we need to be able to
get others to unpack that, to be able to walk through these destinations and discover it as easily as they possibly can, making the decisions to come, rather than relying always on organised events in order to be able to do that.
We have an improving infrastructure, David.
