My role and that of my Department in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy development and in securing resources to assist the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, in implementing that policy.
With regard to allocations by Fáilte Ireland under the EU Just Transition Fund, such decisions are an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland, as the National Tourism Development Authority. Neither I nor my Department have a direct role in this regard. Accordingly, I have referred this question to Fáilte Ireland for direct response. 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
