My Department's role in relation to tourism lies in the area of national tourism policy development.  It is not directly involved in the management or development of individual tourism projects.  These are operational matters for the Board and Management of Fáilte Ireland.  Similarly, I do not have a direct role in relation to the development, implementation or management of Experience Brands, such as Ireland's Ancient East.

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.
