Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

When will the review of the PricewaterhouseCoopers report be completed? When will the Minister make a decision on it? Will he change the existing RTAs? Does the Minister agree that the main challenge for RTAs is the lack of funding for marketing? A hotelier who accompanied the western RTA told us in a committee that his budget for promoting his hotels is greater than the RTA marketing budget. The marketing budgets must be increased. In any new arrangement will the RTAs be under the umbrella of Fáilte Ireland rather than operating independently as they do currently?
