Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 February 2023
81. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the works that have been completed to date under the €700 thousand awarded to Drogheda under Fáilte Ireland’s urban animation capital investment scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7702/23]
View answerMy Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy and implementation of that policy is a matter for the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, as well as certain other bodies.
With specific regard to the development of tourism product offerings such as the Urban Animation Capital Investment Scheme, these are operational matters for Fáilte Ireland in line with its tourism development functions. I have referred this question to them for direct response to the Deputy. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
