586. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of inspections that took place in 2013 and 2014 to ensure full compliance with maximum chargeable rates for hotels and guest house accommodation; the number of cases of non-compliance identified in both years; the action that is taken in such cases; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39168/15]

These are operational matters for the Board and management of Fáilte Ireland and are not matters in which I, as Minister, have any role or function.  I have referred the Deputy's question to the agency for direct reply.  Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
