Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 February 2012
261 Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the efforts he has made with the relevant agencies to maximise the tourism potential for Ireland of the Volvo Ocean Race; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8602/12]
View answerThe State tourism agencies are working hard to ensure a significant tourism impact for the finale of the Volvo Ocean Race in Galway later this year. As the promotion of such events is an operational matter for those agencies, I have referred the question to the tourism agencies and asked them to inform the Deputy of their activities in this area. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
