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, such as the Wild Atlantic Way. These are operational matters for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.
The overall level of funding to be allocated to Fáilte Ireland for tourism product development in 2018 will be confirmed on publication of the Revised Estimates for 2018. Fáilte Ireland will then be in a position to set out its spending plans for 2018, including its spending plans for the Wild Atlantic Way.
