Can the Minister of State give any indication of the trends for the years in question?
I wonder how a statistical question can be put down for oral answer.
If the Minister of State can give me an answer by way of supplementary I will not pursue the matter any further.
That is in order.
I will accept a written reply.
The monthly average for County Carlow in the year 2000 was 2,191 and 2,138 in 2002. The information is then broken down according to districts. For County Wicklow the monthly average for 2000 was 4,237 with a decrease in 2002 to 4,124.
