Responsibility for implementing task force proposals

Summary

The Minister said Bord Fáilte had sole responsibility for implementing the proposals and praised its special-interest tourism folders; a brief interjection prompted a joke about U-turns on the Táin walk.

Will the Minister say — in relation to the proposals of the Tourism Task Force — whether it is entirely incumbent on Bord Fáilte to have them implemented or whether any proportion of the £4 million is then forwarded on to some of the private interests represented on the task force with a view to them or their associates implementing those proposals?

Comment on this

Bord Fáilte have total responsibility for the implementation of the proposals. Bord Fáilte deserve much praise for all of their efforts. They have produced a series of folders in special interest areas of a very high standard, covering equestrian, Golden Holidays, game angling, coarse angling, cycling, walking, cruising and golf, which are very impressive and well prepared and presented.
