I propose to take Questions Nos. 297 to 299, inclusive, together.

In Budget 2022, I secured €50m for the Tourism Business Continuity Programme which is designed to support strategic tourism businesses to survive through the pandemic and to help drive the recovery of the Irish tourism industry. The Tourism Business Continuity Schemes for 2022 are managed by Fáilte Ireland.

Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's questions to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
