Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport

My Department's role in relation to tourism lies in the area of national tourism policy.  It is not directly involved in the management or development of individual tourism projects.  These are operational matters for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.  Fáilte Ireland is the contracting authority in respect of the report entitled "Shared Strategy to Maximise the Economic Growth of Cruise Tourism across the Island of Ireland". Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply.  Please contact my private office if you have not received a response within ten working days.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
