Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 June 2023
190. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform the visitor numbers to each visitor attraction operated by the Office of Public Works for each month in 2022, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29000/23]
View answerThe 2022 visitor numbers to each heritage site managed by the OPW are shown in the following table. The visitor numbers include data from people-counters which provide data on either an annual or quarterly basis. It is, therefore, not possible to give a full breakdown of visitor numbers by month.
