My Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy. It is not directly involved in the management or development of individual tourism projects, which are operational matters for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.
Fáilte Ireland is the contracting authority in respect of the draft report to which the Deputy refers, entitled "Shared Strategy to Maximise the Economic Growth of Cruise Tourism across the Island of Ireland".
Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you have not received a response within ten working days.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
