Vol. 497 No. 6
217 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the tourism growth figures by county for each of the years from 1990 to 1997. [26092/98]
218 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the tourism growth figures by region for each of the years from 1990 to 1997. [26093/98]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 217 and 218 together.
I am informed by Bord Fáilte that the total regional visitor numbers and revenue figures for tourism in respect of the years 1990 to 1997 inclusive are as set out in the following tabular statement. I understand from Bord Fáilte that they do not publish tourism figures broken down on a county basis.
