Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 June 2018
1087. Deputy Marc MacSharry asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if either his Department or Fáilte Ireland has ever investigated the delivery of an accessible tourism marketing campaign; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24930/18]
View answerMy role, as Minister with responsibility for tourism, is to develop national tourism policy which is then implemented by the tourism agencies - Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland. Fáilte Ireland is responsible for the development of the Irish tourism industry and Tourism Ireland has responsibility for the overseas promotion of the island of Ireland as a tourism destination.
The delivery of accessible tourism marketing campaigns, domestically and internationally, are matters for Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland respectively. Accordingly, I have referred the question to both agencies for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
