In relation to the number of client companies, I have been informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that at the end of 2018 their client database included over 1,100 clients consisting of sole traders, individuals, micro companies as well as small and medium enterprises. Some of these client companies may only have part-time or seasonal employment and would not be included in the figures detailed above.
