Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: I will start by saying that representatives from Fáilte Ireland told us they engaged in a scoping exercise, if you like, and identified 30,000 short-term tourist lettings of which they were not aware, which is the equivalent of approximately 130,000 beds. Has Ms Licken had sight of that? Have they forwarded that information on to the Department? What has the Department done with that...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: No, it is fine once I have the review date. It is not completed as yet. That is fine.

Fáilte Ireland was able to tell us that the figures for advance bookings from Britain this year are down, and that there...
