I propose to take Questions Nos. 595 and 596 together.

The collection and dissemination of official statistical information, including information relating to tourist numbers and expenditure, is a matter for the Central Statistics Office. The CSO does not publish tourism performance figures for individual counties. However, I understand that Fáilte Ireland, the National Tourism Development Authority, does estimate individual county performance based on CSO data. I have asked Fáilte Ireland to reply directly to the Deputy with any further information it may have on this matter. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
