I also sought information from the IDA. I did not see it come in. It was specifically about how it calculates how many jobs are actually created by its clients. The CEO stated in his response that a survey is carried out, which is presented to the companies to fill in and is then monitored. The monitoring, however, seems to consist of information that is provided by the companies. There do not seem to be any real checks. It is important, because we need to have accurate figures. I asked for the methodology and precisely what the IDA do. Can that be followed up on, to ensure that we get it?
