Ms Dawn Livingstone:

In terms of the Exchequer benefits, and it is the whole benefit in terms of the boating activity, those were calculated from the per diem spend based on the Bord Fáilte figures for people who use their boats, how often they go out, what they spend as day visitors, fuel and so on. It also takes in the purchase in terms of all of the industry behind boats including private marinas, boat repair, and capital build. It is an all-encompassing figure, and it was updated as recently as two years ago.
