The UK does not operate routine immigration controls on journeys made within the common travel area, including from Ireland into Northern Ireland, and holds no data on total journeys made.
The Home Office makes data relating to electronic travel authorisations (ETAs) available as part of its quarterly release of immigration system statistics.
