Funding for the regional cooperative market access scheme is allocated to Tourism Ireland under the Tourism Marketing Fund. The funding available had been doubled this year and €2,500,000 had been allocated to the scheme prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, using the 2020 allocation as a base, a 100% increase would cost a further €2,500,000 on a full year basis and increase the fund to €5,000,000.
