The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. The latest QNHS data available is for Q3 2013.

The most detailed breakdown available is at 2 Digit NACE level. An international/domestic breakdown of this data is not available. Thus the exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.
