Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 314, 315 and 316 together.
Following the introduction of specific public health measures in Kildare, Laois and Offaly the Government made additional funding available to Fáilte Ireland, to undertake a promotional campaign focused on increasing the appeal of these counties to visitors and drive bookings. The administration of this funding is an operational matter for the board and management of Fáilte Ireland. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for further information and direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
