The costs of administration of IDA Ireland's overseas offices and the assignment of staff to such offices are day-to-day matters for the agency and ones for which I do not have direct responsibility.

As it has not been possible for IDA Ireland to compile the data requested within the time period available, I have asked the CEO of IDA Ireland to forward it directly to the Deputy.

The costs of Enterprise Ireland offices are a day-to-day operational matter for the Agency.

I have referred the question to Enterprise Ireland for direct response to the Deputy.
