Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 June 2021
118. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the measures being considered to develop the Lee valley as a must-go destination for both the domestic and foreign tourism markets given that the N22 bypass is progressing for Macroom, County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe tourism agencies Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland have operational responsibility for the development and promotion of tourism in areas such as the Lee Valley.
Fáilte Ireland recently launched a new domestic marketing campaign ‘Keep Discovering' which is running across all media channels. The campaign is designed to drive consumers to all areas of the country including the Lee Valley in Cork.
The Lee Valley has also featured on Fáilte Ireland's new look DiscoverIreland.ie website for domestic visitors. The website has been redesigned as a one-stop shop for domestic visitors, showcasing the wealth of things to see and do across Ireland.
I have asked both tourism agencies to provide the Deputy with further information on their work developing and promoting tourism in the Lee Valley. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
