Question:53 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport if he will make a statement on reports that he proposes to privatise CIE Tours.
Written Answers. - CIE Tours.
The CIE Board has been examining the operations and financial prospects of CIE Tours and I have just received the board's report on foot of that examination.
I have recently received also an unsolicited approach from a consortium representing a number of private sector travel and tourism businesses expressing interest in the acquisition of CIE Tours.
