I propose to take Questions Nos. 16, 43, 44, 49, 64, 71 together.
Bord Fáilte are the lead agency for the overseas marketing and promotion of Ireland as a tourist destination. The board's total grant-in-aid for 1991 is £21.5 million of which over £16 million will be spent on overseas marketing.
There are also, of course, a whole range of organisations and companies, in the public and private sectors, who promote their services in overseas marketing. These include international carriers into Ireland, tour operators, hotel chains, accommodation providers, specialist operators, etc. Their activities are financed from private sources or, in the case of the semi-State companies, from commercially generated resources.
I might mention that the Irish Government have agreed with the EC as part of the Operational Programme for Tourism to make a total of £10 million available for marketing assistance to the private sector through the European Regional Development Fund over the four-year period 1989-93.
