This matter is covered extensively in the Strategic Review of the Camping and Caravan sector which was conducted by Fáilte Ireland in 2011. The review contains a number of key recommendations and key tasks. Responsibility for the implementation of the recommendations and the tasks lies with Fáilte Ireland and the industry itself. Responsibility for the regulation of registered tourist accommodation is also a matter for Fáilte Ireland and so I have, accordingly, referred the Deputy's Question to the agency for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
