Item 1 08.03.17 515/38 | 2. Rural Economy Strategy The Panel considered the existing scoping document and terms of reference (approved in March 2017). It was noted that these were still appropriate, although very minor amendments were made to the list of potential stakeholders. The Panel discussed and agreed a timetable with hearings to take place in early November, to enable the review to be completed before the end of the year. | MO |
| 3. Information requests The Panel noted that only one item on a list submitted to the Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture Department (EDTSC) had so far received a response a week later. It was agreed to send a reminder asking when the remaining information requested would be made available. The Panel agreed that further questions should be asked about the operation of the Tourism Development Fund, as minutes of the Advisory Board supplied in respect of another item suggested that at least one recent grant had been made contrary to the Board's advice. It was decided to follow this matter up at the Quarterly Public Hearing with the Minister for EDTSC to take place on 21st July. | MO MO |
