The Shannon Tourism Masterplan is a collaborative project involving Waterways Ireland, Fáilte Ireland and ten local authorities along the River Shannon and Shannon-Erne Waterway. 

Under the Masterplan, Fáilte Ireland will invest in the development of tourism infrastructure, products and experiences to help reposition the Shannon Region as a key tourism destination within Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.  I have referred the Deputy’s question to Fáilte Ireland to supply further information in relation to its plans for tourism investment in line with the Shannon Tourism Masterplan.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days. 

Other matters such as those referred to by the Deputy are not part of Fáilte Ireland's remit. In that regard, information on planned Waterways Ireland and/or local authority investment under this Masterplan is a matter for those public bodies.
