Socioeconomic Profile of the Seven Gaeltacht Areas in Ireland: Discussion
Mr. Justin Gleeson:
I would like to point out one matter, getting back to the jobs and employment across the Gaeltacht areas. I am sure that plenty of work has been done by the údarás but there is a lot of interesting and useful data that are not being used to their full potential sitting within the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation and within all the LEO companies across the country. They have gathered an enormous amount of material over recent years and it would be an interesting exercise to look at that to see exactly what industry is in the Gaeltacht. We are not talking about the údarás, Enterprise Ireland or IDA Ireland supported industries but more local level LEO-supported companies that are on the ground.
