I propose to take Questions Nos. 201 and 203 together.

Fáilte Ireland is required to operate within the legislative framework provided by Oireachtas Eireann and the policy framework set by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.  Certain corporate governance provisions and set out in the legislative and policy framework, including the production of periodic corporate publications (e.g. Annual Report and Accounts, Strategy Statement and others).  The specific matter raised by the Deputy is an operational one for the board and management of Fáilte Ireland.  Accordingly I have referred the Deputy's question to the agency for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
