The Department does not directly fund local authorities for tourism purposes and all tourism funding is channelled through the tourism agencies Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland.  Details (at subhead level) of the annual funding allocations provided by my Department in regard to tourism are contained within the annual Revised Estimates Volume published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.  The subheads of relevance to Fáilte Ireland in 2021 are A3, A6 and A5 (shared with Tourism Ireland) and further detail is available in the Agency Statement for Fáilte Ireland in the Revised Estimates Volumes.  In 2020 the subheads of relevance were E3, E6 and E5.

I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for further detail in regard to funding provided by Fáilte Ireland to local authorities. Please contact my private office if you do not hear back within ten working days.
