Fáilte Ireland operates an extensive network of Tourism Information Offices throughout the country. The day to day management of the offices, their opening hours and their locations are administrative matters for Fáilte Ireland.

However, Fáilte Ireland does not run or have any involvement with the Tourist Information Office in Howth and I understand it is run by a local tourism organisation. Accordingly, I am not in a position to answer the questions raised by the Deputy regarding its operation.
