Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht Catherine Martin this afternoon said she has accepted Michael Cawley's resignation after it emerged he was on holiday in Italy, despite Government advice to avoid non-essential travel abroad.
"As a sign of solidarity with the industry, and to help the country reopen its schools safely, the Government and my department in particular have encouraged people to holiday in Ireland this year. "While Italy is on the green list, meaning that people who return from there do not have to restrict their movements, the Government has called on people to avoid all non-essential travel. Many of our citizens and residents have followed this guidance at some personal and financial cost to themselves."I rang Mr Cawley this morning and he has offered his resignation which I have accepted. I wish to thank Mr Cawley for his service as Chair of Fáilte Ireland.
