The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the official source of employment estimates in the State. Annual figures for 2022 are not yet available – Table 1 contains LFS data for Q2 2022.

The quarterly LFS employment estimates are produced by NUTS3 Regions (NUTS3 is a geocode standard referencing the eight subdivisions of Ireland for statistical purposes). Due to the methodology and sample size of the survey it is not possible to produce reliable county estimates from the LFS.

Table 1 below shows the number of persons aged 15-89 years in employment (ILO) by NACE Rev.2 Economic Sector and by NUTS3 Region for Q2 2022.
