205 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if there are grants or other assistance available for persons who wish to commence in the restaurant business, with particular emphasis on providing facilities for tourists; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20931/04]
View answerThe main source of funding available to support the development of tourism capital projects is the tourism product development scheme. This scheme, which is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund under the National Development Plan 2000-2006, is operated by Fáilte Ireland. Expenditure on restaurant facilities is not eligible for support under the scheme.
