Under the National Tourism Development Authority Act 2003,Fáilte Ireland is to encourage, promote and support the recruitment, training, and education and development, of persons for the purposes of employment in connection with the tourism industry in the State.

As the carrying out of this function is an operational matter for the Board of Fáilte Ireland, I have asked Fáilte Ireland for further information on how it delivers this function and to send a direct reply to the Deputy. I ask the Deputy to contact my private office if he has not received a reply within ten working days.
