Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 May 2012
227 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of full-time staff working in the Howth tourism office, County Dublin; if additional staff will be allocated over the summer months; the opening hours of the office, if the office opening hours will be extended over the summer months; the cost of operating this office in 2010/2011 and to date in 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25854/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraFáilte Ireland operates an extensive network of Tourism Information Offices throughout the country. The day to day management of the offices, their opening hours and their locations are administrative matters for Fáilte Ireland.
However, Fáilte Ireland does not run or have any involvement with the Tourist Information Office in Howth and I understand it is run by a local tourism organisation. Accordingly, I am not in a position to answer the questions raised by the Deputy regarding its operation.
