The figures in respect of jobs in Enterprise Development agency-supported companies and those supported by the County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs) are compiled in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey and the CEB Annual Employment Survey respectively on an annualised basis. The figures in respect of jobs created and lost in Enterprise Development agency-supported companies in 2011 are set out in the table accompanying this reply. The figure for jobs created in CEB-supported companies is also included, however a figure in respect of jobs lost in these companies is not available at this time.

The Deputy may wish to consult with the Central Statistics Office as regards jobs created and lost in the economy as a whole.
