I propose to take Questions Nos. 242 and 243 together.

Data on Irish Economic Expenditure is published by Forfás in the Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact (ABSEI). This survey covers the client base of Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, Udaras na Gaeltachta, Shannon Development and comprises of all manufacturing firms with over ten employees. The data collated relate to the aggregated estimates of the contribution of these clients to the Irish economy over the course of the survey, which began in 2000. The results of The Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact are published annually and are available on the Forfas website: www.forfas.ie/publication/search.jsp

Detailed data with regard to the IEE of the Food, Drink & Tobacco sector as well as the overall manufacturing sector are set out in the tables below.
