Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2011
300 Deputy Pat Deering asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport if he has any proposals to invest in the rivers and waterways tourism initiative, in view of the fact that this investment is necessary to draw down the matching money from the EU. [11484/11]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that Waterways Ireland falls within the ambit of my Department. I have been advised by that body that it is not involved in the Rivers and Waterways Tourism Initiative referred to by the Deputy. The Deputy may wish to pursue the matter with my colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, who has overall responsibility for tourism affairs.
