Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
1559. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if specific funding will be put in place to market County Donegal further to the county being nominated by a magazine (details supplied) as the coolest place on the planet to visit in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraCounty Donegal forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way experience brand. Decisions on how the Wild Atlantic Way is marketed overseas is a matter for Tourism Ireland Limited, and in the case of the domestic tourism market, it is a matter for Fáilte Ireland.
These decisions are not subject to my approval.
Accordingly, I have also referred the Deputy's Parliamentary Questions to both agencies for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
The referred replies under Standing Order 42A were forwarded to the Deputy.
