I propose to take Questions Nos. 676 and 677 together.

I am aware of the issue raised by the Deputy but I have no direct role in this matter. These are decisions for Tourism Ireland Limited as the body responsible for promoting the island of Ireland as a visitor destination overseas and are not subject to my approval. I have referred the Deputy's Questions to Tourism Ireland for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
