Amharc ar fhreagra360. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the number of times the board of management of a tourism group (details supplied) have met; the members of the group; the funding model of the group; the amount or investment the group has received to date in 2017; the source of funding; if Inland Fisheries Ireland has invested money in the group; the amount invested to date in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 359 and 360 together.
The group in question is a not for profit organisation, which does not come under the remit of my Department or Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI). IFI contributed €25,000 to the group to support the roll out of the Donegal Angling Pilot. This included the development of a brand, website and other promotional activities through the group. IFI also has a contract with the group to operate the website www.donegalanglingholidays.com. As the group in question does not come under the remit of my Department, the other information sought by the Deputy has not been reported to the Department.
