I understand that the information requested by the Deputy will not be available until Údarás na Gaeltachta has completed its annual employment survey, the results of which will be published in January 2009.

However, an tÚdarás has indicated that the level of job approvals has continued at a rate consistent with recent years; that job creation accordingly, subject to economic conditions nationally and internationally, should be in line with recent trends; and that there is no indication at this stage of any significant increase in job losses.
