Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2016
590. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if Ireland competes effectively with other jurisdictions as a conference location; if conference tourism will grow in the next five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16004/16]
View answerThe role of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national policy. The development of conference and business tourism is an operational matter for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.
Accordingly, I have asked Fáilte Ireland to reply to the Deputy directly in this regard. Please contact my private office if you do not hear from them within ten working days.
