In recognition of the need to have access to statistical information on the aviation sector to assist in informing, developing and monitoring aviation policy, the National Aviation Policy for Ireland, which I published last August, includes an action (Action 8.1) that my Department will publish basic statistical information on our website by end 2015. The statistics for Quarter 3, 2015 will be published on my Department's website, www.dttas.ie next week, and these figures will be updated quarterly thereafter.
