Under the Tourist Traffic Acts 1939-2016 Fáilte Ireland has specific powers and functions in relation to the registration and grading of certain types of tourist accommodation, including caravan and camping parks. These functions mainly relate to the quality of the product and the level of service. Neither this Department nor the tourism agencies have any responsibility for the development of areas dedicated to motorhomes and campervans.

Fáilte Ireland liaises on a regular basis with representatives of the Caravan and Camping sector. I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the agency for further information. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
