Vol. 443 No. 4
112 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the number of jobs created in Athy, County Kildare, in each of the years from 1987 to date; the number of jobs lost in the same period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I presume the Deputy is referring to jobs created and lost in companies assisted by agencies operating under the aegis of my Department. This is a matter for the day to day administration of the agencies, and not one in which I have a direct function.
Nevertheless, I am informed that the number of jobs, gains*, created by companies assisted by the former IDA in Athy in manufacturing and internationally traded services and the number of jobs lost by the same companies in the period 1987 to 1993 are as follows:
