Vol. 511 No. 6

Written Answers. - Tourist Accommodation.

Bernard J. Durkan

Ceist:

369 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has disbursed funds from his Department's Vote to provide further hotel and guest house accommodation; if so, the plans, if any, he has to increase or reduce the moneys voted under this heading; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25306/99]

As I have stated previously in response to Dáil questions on this subject, the broad policy approach, in relation to the grant-aiding of accommodation, is that the market has shown ample readiness to invest in such projects without requiring grant incentives. Therefore, my Department's Vote does not contain provision for disbursement of funds for development of hotel and guesthouse accommodation nor is such provision currently planned.
