Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Job Creation Initiatives: Discussion with ConnectIreland

2:10 pm

Mr. Michael McLoughlin:

The companies have to do an approval and give an official count to Forfás. We will give feedback on our companies that are in place at that time. Our companies adhere to the same rules as Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland. They must make a submission at the end of October in respect of the Forfás national employment study. Since then, some of our companies would have taken on employees but that will be the figure announced from a State perspective and we have to adhere to that figure.
