Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 July 2016
829. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the progress of development of tourism facilities at Malin Head, County Donegal; when phase 2 works will commence and finish; the progress being made on development of the plans for phase 3; the total funding allocated so far and indicated funding for future works; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24016/16]
View answerThe role of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national policy and it is not involved in the management or development of individual projects. The management and development of the tourist facilities at Malin Head is a matter in the first instance for Donegal County Council. Funding assistance being provided to the project 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 regard to its role. Please contact my private office if you do not hear from them within ten working days.
