To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason there is a disparity in the spending of Tourism Ireland in Dublin with only 6% of all advertising spend in 2009 spent in Dublin, compared to the 32% of national tourism revenues that are generated in Dublin and the future potential in Dublin to expand the tourism market.

The matter raised is an operational one for Tourism Ireland Limited as the body responsible for promoting the island of Ireland as a visitor destination overseas. I have referred the Deputy's Question to Tourism Ireland for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
