Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2016
740. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will address the concerns of a person (details supplied); if his Department will facilitate the person's requests to meet Fáilte Ireland and assist with the request for the appointment of consultants within Meath County Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37573/16]
View answerMy Department's role in relation to tourism lies in the area of national tourism policy. It is not directly involved in the management or development of individual tourism projects. This is an operational matter for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.
Accordingly I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply to the Deputy. The Deputy should contact my private office if he has not received a reply within ten working days.
I should also highlight that I have no role in the appointment of consultants within Meath County Council.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
