This was made up of €271 on fares, €25 on prepayments, €354 on accommodation and €420 on day-to-day spending.
Their visits typically lasted for six nights, the CSO said.
Today's figures show that of the 521,800 foreign visitors who departed Ireland on overseas routes in March, 38.2% of the visitors were from Great Britain, 19.4% were from the US and 6.5% were from Germany.
Of the foreign visitors who left Ireland in March, 31.5% were completing their trips, with the balance being Irish residents heading abroad (60.7%) and foreign same-day visitors (7.8%).
The CSO said the most frequent reason (46.7%) for travelling to Ireland was for holidays in March, and the foreign visitors stayed a total of 3,109,800 nights in the country.
