Written answers
My role and that of my Department in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy development and in securing resources to assist the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, in implementing that policy.
With regard to the marketing campaigns of any location including the Famine Way, such decisions are an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland, as the National Tourism Development Authority. Neither I, nor my Department, have any role in decisions by the Authority regarding its operational funding priorities and related expenditure.
Accordingly, 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.
