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.
Tables 1a and 1b below show the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment classified by full-time/part-time employment and NUTS2 and NUTS3 regions in Quarter 2 2008 and Quarter 2 2014.
Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable county level estimates from the QNHS.
