The Board of Microfinance Ireland (MFI) provides me with Quarterly Reports of progress, and these are published on the websites of both MFI and my Department. 

The county spread of approvals is contained in each Quarterly Report provided by Microfinance Ireland to my Department.

In relation to the drawdown figures requested by the Deputy, I have attached the available information relating to the figures as at 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017 and an analysis of loan approvals for each county.
