Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 May 2018
499. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the details of the successful applications under Fáilte Ireland’s conference financial support scheme over the past three years. [20980/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy 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. While the Department provides funding to Fáilte Ireland to support bids to attract international conferences to Ireland, it has no role in the administration of Fáilte Ireland's Conference Financial Support Scheme.
I have accordingly referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply to the Deputy. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
