asked the Minister for Transport and Power the total amount of tourist grant allocated to County Sligo.

I am informed by Bord Fáilte that there is no tourist grant specifically earmarked for County Sligo or any other county. The county benefits from the general tourism activity which is generated by Bord Fáilte and other tourist interests. In the last financial year the board paid grants of approximately £68,000 in respect of projects in County Sligo.
