The question of the allocation of resources to support tourism is a matter for my colleague, Mr. Shane Ross, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.

From the perspective of the South East Action Plan for Jobs, tourism is one of the key sectors targeted as part of the Plan. The Plan contains measures to deliver 300,000 extra tourists and 5,000 associated jobs, including developing Ireland’s ancient East and focusing on cross/county initiatives.
