View answerThe Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for conserving, maintaining and managing Ireland's most important heritage sites. The mission of the OPW Heritage Services is to conserve and protect the built and natural heritage in our care whilst providing public access, interpretation and encouraging the public to visit and engage with our national heritage.
My officials are currently evaluating and auditing 2025 Visitor Data. Once the information has been collated, I will respond directly to the Deputy. The 2025 data will be published in the coming weeks on gov.ie.
The visitor data for 2024 is available online at the following link, and is set out in tabular form on the attached document.
