There are no plans to establish a dedicated training organisation for the tourism and hospitality sector. I am not aware of any estimate having been conducted as to the cost of establishing such a body. In line with provision for other sectors, education and training for this sector is primarily funded and delivered through the higher, further education, and training bodies namely the Institutes of Technology and the Education and Training Boards with complementary training and business supports provided by Failte Ireland.
