I propose to take Questions Nos. 267 and 268 together.

Due to confidentiality reasons and the potential to identify individual companies, Employment Subsidy Scheme (Temporary) approvals for any county are not broken down into city and county approvals. Under the first call of the Employment Subsidy Scheme, 8 companies in Waterford City and County were approved €2,310,400 towards 254 subsidies. These companies committed to maintain 2,624 employees to 30 November 2010. Under the second call of the Employment Subsidy Scheme, 29 companies in Waterford City and County were approved €1,290,380 towards 161 subsidies. As a result of being approved these subsidies, these companies committed to maintain 1,612 employees to 30 November 2010.
