I propose to take Questions Nos. 95 to 97, inclusive, together.
The only figures available to my Department are those in respect of job gains and losses in client companies of the enterprise development agencies.
The agency employment figures are compiled annually in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey, the most up to date of which details figures for jobs lost and gained up until 2009. The figures are in respect of numbers of persons employed in firms assisted by IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and Shannon Development, which come under the aegis of my Department. As the information is compiled on an annualised basis, the figures in respect of 2010 will not be available until 2011. Details of the agency figures are set out in the following tabular statement.
My Department does not collect or retain information on the number of specific jobs created or lost in County and City Enterprise Board assisted companies. However statistical information in relation to details of jobs existing in companies assisted by the County and City Enterprise Boards is set out in the following tabular statement for the two years to end 2009. Figures in respect of 2010 will be available in early 2011.
