Mr. Pádraig Dalton:

Full-time and part-time is based on the number of hours worked. We collect information on hours worked from the respondents also. There are two measures for employment provided in the quarterly national household survey. One is the international measurement by the International Labour Organization, the ILO basis, which is the one hour per week. Every country measures it in that way. We also compile statistics on the principal economic status where we simply ask the person if they are in employment. They are given five categories and it is self-perception rather than the ILO.
