Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 March 2015
958. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the level of financial and other support financial being provided by his Department to the 2015 Irish Open Golf event in Royal County Down Golf Club; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11068/15]
View answerMy Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national policy. It is not involved in the administration of tourism-related funding programmes or in providing support to specific tourism events, which are the responsibility of Fáilte Ireland.
Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for further information and direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
