The matter raised is an operational one for the Board and management of Fáilte Ireland. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to them for further information and direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.

With further regard to the request for funding for a feasibility study, my Department’s tourism budget is channelled through the tourism agencies and I have no role in the administration of tourism-related funding programmes.  There is no discretionary funding available to my Department by which financial assistance could be provided.
