Written answers

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Martin)

Detailed statistics on work permits, are available on the work permits web page of my Department's website at www.entemp.ie. I have arranged to have the Deputy supplied with details of the work permits issued by nationality and sector in respect of each year since 1997.
