365. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of proposals to create a coastal touring route along the south eastern seaboard; if a decision has been made by Fáilte Ireland on the naming or branding of this proposition; and if the process will be open to submissions from interested parties in due course. [18831/18]

I am very supportive of efforts to develop this route and I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland and asked them to provide him with further information and reply directly to him.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
