Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ms Harney)

I regret that it has not been possible, in the time available, to assemble the information sought by the Deputy in the format requested.

I have however instructed my Department to put it together as a matter of urgency and I will forward it to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
