From our engagement with the sector and stakeholders pre-budget, the key issue was for tourism activities like adventure centres and experiences. I secured €10 million for a comprehensive programme of supports targeted at those downstream tourism businesses. My officials and Fáilte Ireland have engaged intensively on a scheme. I expect to conclude negotiations imminently as we are at the final drafting stage with extensive engagement with the sector and I think that is something that they are looking forward to.
