Vol. 449 No. 4
164 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the number of projects or companies grant aided by each county enterprise board for each year since their formation; the number of jobs created by category, such as tourist manufacturing and service; and the number of these jobs that are FÁS-assisted. [4000/95]
Information on county enterprise board project approvals and job creation is set out in the following tabular statements which I propose to have circulated in the Official Report. The data supplied is subject to change in the light of project decommittals or amendments to amounts already approved in individual cases or to new approvals in 1995.
The approved projects comprise a variety of sectors with 36 per cent in services, 17 per cent in tourism, 13 per cent in craft, 13 per cent in industry, 7 per cent in food and the remainder spread over horticulture, fisheries, textiles, etc.
Data on jobs created by sector or also assisted by FÁS is not available; the number of jobs created in 1995 is not yet available.
The county enterprise boards have been operating subject to interim guidelines since they were set up in late 1993. Since establishment, their operations have largely been confined to the provision of grants for small businesses starting up or expanding. Based on returns supplied by the 35 county enterprise boards for 1994, their first full year of operation, some 1,776 full-time and 263 part-time jobs were created at a total cost of around £5 million paid in grants from the Exchequer. In view of the interim, start-up nature of their operation to date, I am satisfied with this performance by the boards and would expect to see it enhanced in future years by the wider range of enterprise development supports which will be available to the boards under the Operational Programme for Local Urban and Rural Development, 1994-99.
