As the Deputy will be aware, the Annual Reports and Accounts of Údarás na Gaeltachta are laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas annually. Table 1 of such Reports provides a breakdown by county of full-time employment in assisted companies. Table 2A provides a breakdown of funding and the projected extra employment as a result of that funding. An tÚdarás does not publish statistics in relation to the number of staff within particular companies assisted by it. I hope that this information is of assistance to the Deputy. If, however, he requires further details in relation to any particular aspect, I will be glad to raise the matter further with Údarás na Gaeltachta.

As the Deputy will be aware, the Annual Reports and Accounts of Údarás na Gaeltachta are laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas annually. Table 1 of such Reports provides a breakdown by county of full-time employment in assisted companies. I am advised that an tÚdarás does not compile statistics in relation to the number of staff within companies assisted by it who are either funded by, or participating in, programmes administered by other State bodies.
