Written question asked by Lady Hermon (Independent (affiliation)) on Thursday, 18 July 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 23 July 2019 (named day). It was answered by John Penrose (Conservative) on Tuesday, 23 July 2019 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.


Tourism Ireland: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether the Government will continue to provide financial support to Tourism Ireland after the UK leaves the EU; what the level of current financial support is; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

Tourism, and the funding of Tourism Ireland, is a matter for the devolved Department for Economy. Decisions on funding should rightly rest with that Department and an incoming NI Executive.

For its part, the UK Government remains firmly committed to the principles of the Belfast Agreement, including supporting cross-border co-operation, embodied in organisations such as Tourism Ireland.
