I propose to take Questions Nos. 31 and 34 together.
In 1994, 175 new jobs were created in counties Cavan and Monaghan, with 120 new jobs being created for the same area in 1995. In respect of companies assisted by IDA Ireland, Information on employment and new jobs is obtained from the Forfás annual employment survey. As the 1996 survey is not yet completed, this information is not available for 1996.
Despite the best efforts of IDA Ireland, the Border counties, with the exception of County Louth, have not attracted new IDA assisted investment in recent years. Any recent new jobs created in overseas companies in counties Cavan and Monaghan are as a result of developments in existing companies which have increased employment levels.
