Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I understand that the Deputy and his adviser met with Minister of State Griffin, the MSO and a senior official from my Department on the 10th of May where these matters were extensively discussed. I trust this meeting was useful. My Department will be in touch shortly to provide the information requested regarding Ireland's Eye.
