My Department's role in relation to tourism lies in the area of national tourism policy. It is not involved in the management, development or promotion of individual tourism projects, such as the Ireland's Ancient East initiative. These are operational matters for the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland.

Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland for their attention and direct reply. Please contact my private office if you have not received a response within ten working days.
