My Department's role in relation to tourism is concerned primarily with national policy, and it is not involved in the funding of individual events, or the administration of tourism-related funding programmes. These matters fall within the day-to-day responsibilities of Fáilte Ireland, which provides support for festivals, business tourism and cultural and sporting events, based upon applications received and the return to the econmy and tourism industry from those events.
Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
