I propose to take Questions Nos. 429 and 430 together.
Fáilte Ireland's Tourism Destination Towns initiative is a capital investment scheme under which Local Authorities were invited to apply for funding to enhance public spaces in developed and emerging tourism destinations in a way that will engage tourists and enhance their experience.
I understand that Fáilte Ireland will confirm allocations under the scheme in the coming weeks. I have asked Fáilte Ireland to reply directly to the Deputy regarding any further detail it might be in a position to share. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
