Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have had an opportunity to spend some time in the Deputy's county. Counties Donegal and Kerry are the two counties where one can take either fork in a road and still be on the Wild Atlantic Way. That reflects the length and comprehensive nature of the route, as well as the great work that local authorities have done to take advantage of this initiative to rejuvenate local tourism. The projects to which the Deputy refers, including the Wild Atlantic Way and the great Irish lighthouse project, are funded by the Government. We are committed to tourism and balanced regional development and want to make the most of what every part of our country has to offer.

Bord Fáilte regards further development of Malin Head as an integral part of the future of the Wild Atlantic Way in terms of being its northernmost point. The area is already a strong attraction but I think it can do even better in the years to come as part of the Wild Atlantic Way. I will discuss the points raised by the Deputy with the board of Fáilte Ireland but it I think it is already aware of the matter. I always work within the Government to secure any funding that becomes available to develop facilities of this nature.
