The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available. The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. Estimates of employment are produced at NUTS 3 Region level. Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable county level estimates from the QNHS. County Galway is part of the West NUTS3 Region.

The Q4 2013 estimates are the most recent QNHS figures available. The following table shows the number of employed (ILO) persons aged 15 years and over classified by the West NUTS3 Region and full-time and part-time employment for Q4 2011, 2012 and 2013.
