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 web links 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.
