My role and that of my Department in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy development and in securing resources to assist the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, in implementing that policy.

Whether Fáilte Ireland could provide support to the product in question is an operational matter for it as the National Tourism Development Authority. Neither I, nor my Department, has any role in decisions by the Authority regarding its operational funding priorities and related expenditure.

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