    For research purposes only, please send me a report on card activity in Enniscorthy town from the dates 29/04/2024-12/05/2024. The card activity can include Credit & Debit cards used in retail/hospitality etc during this time period. No individual personal or bank details are required. However a breakdown of national and international card use would be appreciated particularly if the country of origin can be identified also.

The spending report should include the amounts and the time over a 24 hour period each day of the 14 days requested. Again no personal information is needed as this is just needed for a general overview. The type of business where the spending occurred would be beneficial. Can the location of the expenditure be as specific as the address or very lease the Street/Road?
