Minister for Tourism and Trade (Mr. McCreevy)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 41, 49 and 53 together.

The tourism project which will be eligible for loans under the new Enterprise Fund are:

Bord Fáilte registered accommodation and Bord Fáilte and SFADCo approved tourism products and services.

I see the fund making a major contribution to the growth of the tourism sector and the creation of sustainable employment.
