Answer
Responsibility for providing funding for events including the Foyle Cup, Milk Cup and North West 200, lies in the first instance with the Department for Enterprise, Trade and Investment.
The withdrawal of the funding from the tourism events fund has the potential to have a negative impact on the above competitions as well as having an impact on other events that bring visitors and participants to the north of Ireland.
