One of the great changes since pandemic, partly if not largely due to the methodology of the CSO, is the ration between inbound and outbound passengers in Ireland’s visitor and trip statistics.
The ratio prior to pandemic was around 45pc outbound and 55pc inbound, related to aviation and shipping statistics. Since pandemic the ratio had reversed and is 70/30 in the opposite direction.
