As the Deputy will be aware, Minister Ross and I have appointed a Tourism Recovery Taskforce to prepare a Tourism Recovery Plan which will include a set of recommendations on how best the Irish tourism sector can adapt and recover in the changed tourism environment as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. The plan will identify priority aims, key enablers and market opportunities for the sector including Wexford and rural tourism, for the period 2020-2023. The Taskforce may consult with stakeholders to inform its deliberations and report back later this year.
The development of the tourism industry is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland. I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for further information and for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not hear from them within ten working days.
