Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 October 2012
221. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport if any funding is available for an organisation (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42254/12]
View answerMy Department's role in relation to tourism is primarily concerned with national policy and it is not involved in providing support to individual tourism projects.
Fáilte Ireland provides a range of non-financial supports and advice to new tourism businesses. Should any person wish to establish a tourism business for the purpose of providing visitors with astronomy experiences, I would advise them to contact their local Fáilte Ireland office for further information.
As the matter raised is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland, I have referred the question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply. Please contact my private office if a reply is not received within ten working days.
