The Central Statistics Office (CSO) reported that 676,300 foreign residents visited Ireland in July 2026, up 5% year-on-year, spending an estimated €681 million (up 9%). Visitors from Great Britain and Continental Europe each accounted for 32% of arrivals, with North America at 30%. Year-to-date visits (January to July) reached 3.9 million, up 13% on the same period in 2025. Why it matters: the data confirm Ireland's continued tourism recovery and give destination managers an up-to-date read on which source markets are driving growth, useful for targeting promotion and capacity planning ahead of the autumn season.
