Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media

The administration of COVID-19 schemes is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland. Accordingly I have asked Fáilte Ireland to provide information to the Deputy on the administration costs associated with the relevant schemes. Please advise 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 51
