The figures requested by the Deputy are not available in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.

A Report published recently by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions entitled Temporary agency work in an Enlarged European Union estimated the number of employees in Ireland employed on temporary agency work in 2004, at 25,000 persons.

I should however, point out that, many agency workers may be on the books of a number of different employment agencies at the same time.
