View answerThe matter raised is an operational matter for the Board and management of Fáilte Ireland in the first instance, working with Tourism Ireland, which promotes the island of Ireland as a visitor destination overseas including through its network of overseas offices. I have referred the matter to Fáilte Ireland and, in relation to activities in overseas markets, Tourism Ireland, for direct reply to the Deputy. Please contact my private office if replies are not received within ten working days.
