I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of employers, both company and self employed, with one employee or less is 94,981 for 2011, the latest year for which the information is available. As corporation tax returns do not require the number of employees to be provided, the information requested by the Deputy as regards company employers cannot be separately identified.
