I regularly meet and speak with the CEO of Fáilte Ireland both at industry events and at specific tourism policy meetings. Most recently, I spoke with the CEO at Fáilte Ireland's first national conference on driving climate action in tourism businesses on Monday 14 November.
When we look at the wider economy and the particular set of challenges facing the tourism industry it is clear that a collective and concerted multi-stakeholder approach to tackling these challenges is required and that is the approach that this Department will continue to pursue. My officials and I, and the team in Fáilte Ireland, continue to collaborate with industry and other Government colleagues and Departments on a regular basis to this end.
