The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below. The numbers are based on the industry classification (NACE) of the last known employer on my Department's administrative systems, and includes persons in the motion picture, programming and broadcasting industries.
I am advised that my Department does not have this data available in relation to the Employment Wage Subsidy scheme, which is operated by the Revenue Commissioners.
