Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 May 2013
57. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide specific details of the strategic investments his Department plans to make under the Tourism Capital Investment Programme; if he will outline the way the €19 million will be spent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22854/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national policy. It is not involved in the administration of tourism-related funding programmes or in support to specific tourism sectors, which are the responsibility of Fáilte Ireland. Fáilte Ireland administer the Tourism Capital Investment Programme, which provides support for investment in certain categories of visitor attraction, visitor activities and tourism infrastructure. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for further information and direct reply.
