My Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy.

It is not directly involved in the management or development of individual tourism projects, such as the development of individual strategies to promote marine or other tourism products.  These are operational matters for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply to the Deputy.  Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
