695. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the income, the income ,expenditure and net surplus or profit generated by the Cliffs of Moher visitor experience in each of the past five years; the corresponding figures for any other local authority-operated tourist attractions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerUnder Section 149 of the Local Government Act 2001, the Chief Executive of a local authority is responsible for the executive functions of the local authority, and for that purpose to manage and control generally, the administration and business of the authority, subject to law.
The provision of detailed information on income and expenditure is a matter for each individual local authority. Local authority income and expenditure is reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Income & Expenditure) of their Annual Financial Statements (AFS). However, it is not outlined in the detail as requested. Therefore, this information is not available in my Department but it may be available from the local authorities concerned.
