Information on applicants for Irish visas is not recorded in a manner which would allow for the compilation of the detailed statistical data requested by the Deputy. A broad overview of activity across all immigration categories, including visas, was set out in my statement of 2nd January, 2013 reviewing Immigration in Ireland in 2012. The statement is available at the following web-address: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP07000084 .
