Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 March 2021
69. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the status of the proposed Fáilte Ireland outdoor dining scheme; if this vital support will be made available to all counties; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13765/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that Fáilte Ireland is currently considering how best it could support outdoor dining experiences, including scoping out a proposed Outdoor Dining Scheme which has not yet been finalised or launched. I am advised that no final decisions have been made as to the parameters of the proposed scheme.
As the development of supports for outdoor dining experiences is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland, I have referred the Deputy's question to the agency for further information. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
