[268] Deputy Brian O’Shea asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the assistance her Department is giving to ensure that the visitor centre at a company (details supplied) is left open; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18677/09]

  Deputy Mary Coughlan:I am aware that the visitor centre in question has re-opened and is in operation. My Department and the agencies under the aegis of my Department do not operate any schemes for providing assistance to visitor centres. However, I understand from the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism that Fáilte Ireland has provided marketing assistance to the centre but has not received a request for financial assistance from the operators of the centre.
