Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not provide grant assistance of the type described by the Deputy.
While my Department provides capital funding for investment in tourism initiatives it is not directly involved in the operational matters related to such tourism initiatives. Tourism operational matters, including any allocation of grant funding, are matters for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.
I have referred the Deputy's Question to Fáilte Ireland for consideration and direct reply. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
