Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2016
914. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount spent on the Ireland's Ancient East initiative to date in 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27257/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe role of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national policy and it is not involved in the management or development of tourism offerings such as Ireland's Ancient East. The development of this initiative is an operational matter for the Board and management of Fáilte Ireland.
Accordingly, I have asked Fáilte Ireland to reply to the Deputy directly in regard to funding of Ireland's Ancient East initiative. Please contact my private office if you do not hear from them within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
