My Department's role in relation to tourism relates primarily to the area of national policy.  I have no direct role in relation to the provision of funding for festivals and events as this is a matter for the Board and management of Fáilte Ireland.

I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's Question to Fáilte Ireland for further information and direct reply.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
