Ferry passenger numbers travelling through Irish ports fell by 88.3% during the height of the Covid-19 lockdown earlier this year.

According to the Central Statistics Office's Statistics of Port Traffic published yesterday, 88,000 people travelled through Irish ports in the three months from April to June compared to 755,000 in the same period last year.

Dublin Port remains the main port for passengers, accounting for 96.6% of all journeys. Holyhead remains the main destination and source of passenger travel into and out of the country.

The CSO also noted a falloff in the gross tonnage of goods brought through our ports but this was not as dramatic.
