Vol. 502 No. 2
23 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the steps, if any, taken with regard to the commitment in An Action Programme for the Millennium to upgrade the regional tourism organisations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7396/99]
In line with the commitment set out in the Government's An Action Programme for the Millennium I have asked Bord Fáilte to initiate a review of the regional tourism authorities, which were established by Bord Fáilte under the Tourist Traffic Acts for the promotion and development of tourism on a regional basis. I understand that the review is currently being carried out by independent consultants and is expected to be completed later this year. I will be considering any proposed future developments in regard to regional tourism organisations in the light of the outcome of this review.
