While my Department provides capital funding for investment in tourism attractions through Fáilte Ireland, neither I not my Department are involved in the development of specific tourist attractions and locations. The development of the Wild Atlantic Way is a matter for the board and management of Fáilte Ireland, while the development of tourism facilities associated with the route is a matter for local stakeholders with the support of Fáilte Ireland where appropriate. In this regard, I am aware that Fáilte Ireland has offered to meet with the local community group in the coming weeks to discuss the development of Malin Head.
I have referred the Deputy’s question to Fáilte Ireland for further information and direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
