Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 February 2005
168 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the details of a proposal to open an aquatic marine life centre in the north-west; if State funding will be granted to this project; if a decision on the location of this centre has been taken; if not, the towns which are being considered for this centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraNo proposal on the lines to which the Deputy referred has been brought to my attention. There are no funds available within the Department to assist such a project and I am not aware of any application being made to the Department for funding for this proposal. If the project has a tourism dimension, it might be eligible to apply for funding under the tourism measure of the national development plan, which is administered by Fáilte Ireland.
