Vol. 507 No. 2
34 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of jobs announced by Forfás and IDA in each county since July 1997; and the number of job losses in each county from July 1997 to date. [16378/99]
Forfás is not directly involved in the day to day activities of enterprise support and consequently has no involvement in new job announcements.
The data requested in relation to IDA Ireland is set out in tabular form for circulation in the Official Report.
