Amharc ar fhreagra1368. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on a matter (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20262/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1362 and 1368 together.
My Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy. It is not directly involved in the management or development of individual tourism projects. This is an operational matter for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.
I am aware that signage is already in place at Shannon Airport on the exit route from Shannon indicating the three closest access points to the Wild Atlantic Way with the distance and the route to follow – Foynes, Kilrush and Lahinch.
