Fáilte Ireland's 2022 capital funding allocation of €39.55 million from my Department is provided under two subheads of the Tourism Services programme in the annual Revised Estimates Volume (REV) for Public Services.
The breakdown under each subhead in 2022 is:
- Subhead A.3 - €3.05 million;
- Subhead A.6 - €36.5 million.
My Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy and implementation of that policy is a matter for the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, as well as certain other bodies.
The details and decisions regarding expenditure from these Exchequer funding allocations are operational matters for Fáilte Ireland, as the National Tourism Development Authority. I have accordingly asked Fáilte Ireland to provide the Deputy with further details of their plans for capital expenditure in 2022. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
