Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 January 2015
974. Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update from Fáilte Ireland on the proposed motorhome park for Youghal, County Cork; if he will provide funding for a feasibility study; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49454/14]
View answerThe matter raised is an operational one for the Board and management of Fáilte Ireland. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to them for further information and direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
With further regard to the request for funding for a feasibility study, my Department’s tourism budget is channelled through the tourism agencies and I have no role in the administration of tourism-related funding programmes. There is no discretionary funding available to my Department by which financial assistance could be provided.
