Amharc ar fhreagra716. Deputy Jerry Buttimer asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide the visitor numbers in the top ten most popular tourist attractions in County Cork for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13124/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 715 and 716 together.
Fáilte Ireland compiles figures annually on the visitor numbers to free and fee-paying visitor attractions in Ireland. Participation in the survey is voluntary and therefore the data gathered is not comprehensive. These figures are published on the Fáilte Ireland website. I have provided weblinks to the top national fee paying and free attractions for 2013 below. As the matter raised is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland, I am referring the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for further details. Please contact my private office if a reply is not received within ten working days.
