The collection of statistics are primarily a matter for the Central Statistics Office (CSO).  I understand that the CSO does not provide a county by county breakdown of statistics in their monthly 'Overseas Travel' publication. I am aware, however, that Fáilte Ireland, provides an estimated county by county breakdown of overseas visits on an annual basis, based on research of its own as well as available CSO statistics. I have asked Fáilte Ireland to provide the Deputy with further information. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
