Foreign companies operating in Ireland are required under exchange control regulations to furnish details to the Central Bank before repatriation of profits is permitted. I am informed by the bank that it is not their practice to publish figures for profit repatriations. Profit transfers are, of course, taken into account by the Central Statistics Office in preparing balance of payments statements.
