Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 October 2021
193. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if Ireland's bid to host the America's Cup is still live; when a decision is expected on whether Ireland has been successful; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51856/21]
View answerMy Department is engaged in a six month period of assessment to assess the potential of hosting the 37th America's Cup and this work will need to be completed before a decision can be made on whether or not Ireland should move forward in host venue bid process. In the meantime, the Department will consult other stakeholders as appropriate. Following the period of assessment, I will consider whether to recommend the hosting of this event to Government.
