I propose to take Questions Nos. 88, 137 and 147 together.

Aviation statistics on passengers arriving through the State Airports by the final point of departure prior to arriving in Ireland are compiled on a weekly basis and are published on gov.ie at: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/b61012-aviation-statistics/ 

The figures include both scheduled and charter flight passengers.  Statistics are complied on the basis of the flight origin, rather than origin of the passenger  or their passport infromation. Transfer passengers are not included in the arrival statistics for the airport as Ireland is not the final destination for these passengers who do not leave the airport before travelling onwards.   All the statistics are provisional figures provided by the airports and are subject to change.

In relation to ports, the Department does not have the level of detail requested by the Deputy. It is estimated that there were approximately 26,070 arriving and departing passengers for the month of January at Dublin and Rosslare Ports.
