I propose to take Questions Nos.100 and 101 together.

The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the enterprise development agencies. The Survey tracks employment by NACE codes i.e a pan-European classification system which groups organisations according to their business activities. Customer support jobs fall within the International Services code.

The attached tabular statement sets out the total number of jobs in IDA client companies in each of the years 2007 to 2012, the total number of jobs within the International Services Code in IDA client companies for the same period and shows the International Services jobs as a percentage of total IDA supported jobs.

Table Showing:

(a) the total number of jobs in IDA client companies in each of the years 2007 to 2012;

(b) the total number of jobs within the International Services Code in IDA client companies for the same period; and

(c) International Services jobs as a percentage of total IDA supported jobs
