Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2021
89. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the specific supports that will be available for County Donegal under the Tourism Recovery Plan 2020-2023; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21492/21]
View answerThe Tourism Recovery Taskforce presented the Tourism Recovery Plan 2020 – 2023 to me on September 30th last. The Plan makes a number of recommendations to help tourism businesses to survive, stabilise and recover from the COVID pandemic, and has been an important input for me and my colleagues in government in considering measures to assist the tourism sector. Together with horizontal measures introduced by Government, such as the EWSS and the CRSS, the sector-specific measures I have introduced have been key in helping tourism businesses to survive and employees to remain engaged in the sector right across the country.
With regards to specific tourism initiatives in County Donegal, I have asked Fáilte Ireland to provide the Deputy with further information on their work developing and promoting tourism in County Donegal.
