Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s main role in relation to tourism lies in the area of national tourism policy development. Implementation of that policy is a matter for the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland.
The marketing of the area encompassed by Tipperary town, Cashel and Cahir is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland. I have asked the two tourism agencies to provide the Deputy with further information on their work marketing, developing and promoting tourism in Tipperary and Ireland generally. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
