Mr. Leo Clancy:

We have the data on job growth over the period. I might ask one of my colleagues, Mr. Leahy or Dr. Gibbons, to speak about growth over the five years. What it meant, though, was that the 207,894 jobs we announced at the start of this year represented an increase of 11,911 on the figure for the previous year. That was very strong growth. We are in the middle of collecting employment growth data for 2022. I do not want to comment on those data at this point because our survey is not closed or validated, but we are and have to be optimistic about continued job growth in the Irish enterprise sector. We believe that it will be an increasing contributor to the Irish economy. That is certainly the trajectory, and a lot of things underlying our data give us confidence in that. However, putting a number on it is increasingly difficult in today's economic climate. I do not know if one of my colleagues has our trend data, but we have seen significant trend growth. We will follow up with Senator Crowe offline on the five-year trend but, certainly, we have seen very significant job growth over the past ten years and we expect that growth to continue, although, in the context of the current economic climate, it may be moderated somewhat.
