Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 February 2018
31. Deputy Maria Bailey asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the way in which Dún Laoghaire could benefit more from Dublin's tourism industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7723/18]
View answerMy Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of developing national tourism policy, while the tourism agencies have operational responsibility for the implementation of this policy. The matter raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for the board and management of Fáilte Ireland. Accordingly I have referred the Deputy's question to the agency for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
