Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2016
470. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the progress being made to develop the Ireland Lakelands brand as a separate proposition to sit alongside the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland’s Ancient East, with specific reference to the Ballina-Killaloe area and Lough Derg to Portumna Bridge taking in villages and Nenagh along the way; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38562/16]
View answerMy 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. 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. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
