Go arounds at Dublin

Just wondering does anybody know how many Go Arounds occur on average each year at Dublin and a breakdown of the reasons for them e.g. obstruction on the runway, weather, technical problems (with the plane landing), other reasons.

I have been flying in very regularly for almost 10 years now and experienced my first Go Around recently. I also have an interest in numbers and statistics, hence the question.

Both the cabin and flight crew were excellent in communicating the situation to us and keeping us up-dated and we landed safely on the second attempt. The Go Around was instigated for separation reasons, I guess the plane using the runway ahead of us had either a slow landing or a delay taking off, for whatever reason, which impacted on us.

My question is purely about facts and figures. I am curious, having never experienced one before despite my 10 years flying into Dublin very regularly.

Thank you.
