Ms Niamh McGuire:

The funding over the last number of years covers a number of elements. It covers pay for the team that has been built in Fáilte Ireland with people from IT, operational staff and that type of stuff to develop the business processes and systems they will need to have in place. It also deals with buying the ICT infrastructure that will be necessary. We are fully confident that Fáilte Ireland is well resourced to open the register next year and to have the regulatory framework and systems in place in order to manage the whole process effectively.
