Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
438. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the grants that are currently available to local groups to promote tourism and historical attractions within an area, specifically groups located within the Hidden Heartlands region. [29046/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy and the provision of funding to the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, as well as certain other bodies. Implementation of national policy is a matter for the tourism agencies and the development and support of specific tourism product offerings is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland in line with its tourism development functions. I have referred this question to them for direct response to the Deputy. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
