I secured an initial €2 million in Exchequer funding in 2018 (€1 million capital and €1 million current funding) to allow Fáilte Ireland start the development stage of the Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands tourism brand experience.
The development and promotion of this new brand is being managed by Fáilte Ireland and I have asked the agency to respond directly to the Deputy in regard to their work in developing Ireland's Hidden Heartlands in 2018. I ask the Deputy to contact my private office if he has not received a reply within ten working days.
