I propose to take Questions Nos. 933 and 934 together.

IDA Ireland’s official employment and company statistics are drawn from an employment survey conducted by my Department on an annual basis, and are presented over a ten year period. The figures are compiled as an active time series. This means the data presented can change on a year-by-year basis, reflecting the inclusion of new companies on the Agency client lists, revisions made by companies during the survey or movement in the IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland portfolio of companies. It is therefore only possible to provide the data requested from 2006 to 2015.

The divisions within the manufacturing and services sectors that IDA categorises employment and company data by differs slightly from the sectors requested. The following table represents the best available information and shows the total number of IDA Ireland client companies along with the number of IDA Ireland supported jobs broken down by sector.
