259 Mr. Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport and Tourism if the development of a marina by a harbour authority as an aid to tourism growth will qualify for grant aid under EC tourism funds.
The operational programme for tourism (1989-1993) includes a measure which makes available EC Structural Funds for marina development. However, the administration of this section of the Programme is a matter for Bord Fáilte and SFADCO, who are responsible for evaluation, assessment, selection and approval of projects, including determining matters related to eligibility, having regard to criteria agreed with the EC Commission.
