No proposal on the lines to which the Deputy referred has been brought to my attention. There are no funds available within the Department to assist such a project and I am not aware of any application being made to the Department for funding for this proposal. If the project has a tourism dimension, it might be eligible to apply for funding under the tourism measure of the national development plan, which is administered by Fáilte Ireland.
