155. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment the estimated cost of increasing Fáilte Ireland funding by 5%, 10%, 20%, 25% and 50%, in tabular form. [50040/26]

The funding provision to Fáilte Ireland is delivered under two subheads on my Department’s Vote, namely Subhead D3 – Fáilte Ireland (including Pay & Pensions) and Subhead D6 – Tourism Product Development. My Department has allocated a total of €133.889 million in respect of these subheads in 2026.

It should be noted that funding is also allocated to Fáilte Ireland under Subhead D5 for the purpose of funding Tourism Ireland and under Subhead D7 for the purpose of the Just Transition Fund (JTF) scheme(s) which Fáilte Ireland implements on behalf of the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly (EMRA). These allocations have not been included in the figures below as they do not form part of the agency’s core funding allocation.

The estimated additional cost of increasing the core funding allocation to Fáilte Ireland by 5%, 10%, 20%, 25% and 50% is set out in the table below:

All figures are based on the 2026 core funding allocation of €133.889 million under Subheads D3 and D6.
