31 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the plans, if any, he has to regroup the various tourist regions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20444/98]
I take it that the Deputy's question relates to the regional tourism authorities which were established by Bord Fáilte Éireann under the Tourist Traffic Acts, 1939 to 1995, for the promotion and development of tourism on a regional basis. Any question of changing the geographical boundaries is, therefore, a matter for Bord Fáilte Éireann in the first instance.
