My Department's tourism services budget is voted for use by the tourism agencies. The specific matter raised is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland.  I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply. I ask him to advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
