Functions relating to tourism and its development are not assigned to me or my Department. The introduction of projects to support activities, such as those suggested by the Deputy, in order to contribute to tourism development does not therefore fall within the remit of my Department. Consideration of any such proposals, or advice on the options available for support or funding, may be appropriate to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport or bodies under its aegis.
