I propose to take Questions Nos. 650 and 651 together.
While my Department provides the capital funding for investment in tourism attractions, it is not directly involved in developing or managing these. The allocation of funding to individual projects is an operational matter for the Board of Fáilte Ireland.
That said, I understand that the Failte Ireland Board has recently decided to allocate funding to a maximum of €396,795 for developments at Malin Head to include road widening, car and bus parking, and a new toilet block. The funding is subject to a number of conditions.
In regard to further development at Malin Head I understand that, following discussions with Fáilte Ireland, Donegal County Council is working on a Malin Head Experience Development Plan that will incorporate the wider Inishowen area. I have referred the question to Fáilte Ireland for further details and direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
