My Department does not provide direct grants for the purpose outlined by the deputy. 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. These are operational matters for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.
Fáilte Ireland provides capital funding for investment in tourism attractions, as well as advice on supports available from other agencies.
I would suggest that the Deputy should advise the person to contact Fáilte Ireland with details of the project involved and they will be able to advise if the project might be eligible for funding under any of Fáilte Ireland's grant schemes for tourism projects.
