Written answers

My 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 Skellig Experience Centre lease is an operational matter for the board and management of Fáilte Ireland. Fáilte Ireland has advised me that they are dealing with this matter. Given that it involves certain legal matters, it would not be appropriate for me to comment any further.

I have asked Fáilte Ireland to respond to the Deputy. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.

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