My Department's role in relation to tourism lies in the area of national tourism policy development. While the Department provides funding to Fáilte Ireland to invest in tourism offerings, it does not have a role in the administration of Fáilte Ireland's grant programmes. Similarly, the Department does not have discretionary funds at its disposal to assist with individual tourism proposals.
I have asked Fáilte Ireland to respond to the Deputy directly with further information on what supports may be available. Please contact my private office if you do not hear within ten working days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
