Question:

699. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the efforts being made to promote tourism in the north Cork area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33094/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport

The matter raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for the boards and management of the two tourism agencies - Tourism Ireland in regard to overseas tourism marketing and Fáilte Ireland in regard to regional tourism development and domestic tourism promotion.

Accordingly I have referred the Deputy's question to the two tourism agencies for direct reply.

Please contact my private office if a reply has not been received within ten working days.

I would also be happy to hear directly from the Deputy any proposals he may have in this regard.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
