The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.

The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment, unemployment and the labour force in the State.

The CSO's statistics on employment do not provide information at the level of detail requested by the Deputy (i.e. details of social enterprise or of postcode areas). The latest figures available from the QNHS are for Quarter 2 of 2014.

The following table 1a shows the number of persons employed, unemployed and in the labour force in the Dublin NUTS3 region in quarter 2 of each year from 2010 to 2014. Regional data is based on the location of the respondent's usual address. Table 1b shows the annual change in these numbers. As Table 1a shows the overall stock of persons employed at given points in time, the annual changes which are calculated using these stock figures measure the number of extra jobs year-on-year. The number of new jobs created will, in general, be larger than this but they are offset in part by the number of jobs lost year-on-year. The QNHS does not record whether a job is newly created.
