2018 was another record-breaking year for tourism in Ireland and marked 8 years of consecutive growth in overseas visit numbers. In 2019 Tourism Ireland’s aim is to grow overseas tourism revenue by 6% while Fáilte Ireland will continue to develop Ireland’s tourism offering and provide enterprise supports to the industry. I have referred the Deputy's question to the tourism agencies for further details of their plans for 2019. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
