My Department's role in relation to tourism lies in the area of national tourism policy.  It is not directly involved in the development or management of individual tourism projects such as the Lakelands initiative, which is an operational matter for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.

Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for their direct reply.  If the Deputy has not received a reply within ten working days, please contact my private office.
