I understand that the Deputy is referring to the light railway project on the Tralee to Blennerville section of the Tralee to Dingle railway line. 

I can confirm to the Deputy that I have met with Fáilte Ireland, local project promoters and Kerry County Council to discuss the project. 

In terms of potential supports that might possibly be available through Fáilte Ireland to assist the project, there is no applicable grant scheme open for applications at present and the specifics of future schemes and funding calls have yet to be determined. I understand, however, that Fáilte Ireland is planning to issue a second call under its Grants Scheme for Large Tourism Projects by the second Quarter of 2019.  Should the owners or operators wish, they may contact Fáilte Ireland for further advice and information.
