Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Leo Varadkar)

There is no funding available from my Department for the upgrade and restoration of listed buildings. I understand that funding is also unavailable for this purpose from Fáilte Ireland but I have referred the matter to them for further reply and any observations they may have on the matter. Please inform my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
