View answerI understand that Fáilte Ireland recently launched a pilot Visitor Attraction Senior Management Programme. This programme of continued professional development was specifically designed for senior managers of high volume fee-based heritage visitor attractions.
The Department of Transport Tourism and Sport has no role in the management or day to day running of such programmes. That is a matter for the board and management of Fáilte Ireland. I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply.
