Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 June 2010
88 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation the number of persons employed in exporting firms on 1 January each year from 2000 to 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22743/10]
View answerThe figures available to me are in respect of numbers of persons employed in exporting firms assisted by the State Development agencies, IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and Shannon Development, which come under the aegis of my Department. These figures are set out in the table. As the information is compiled on an annualised basis, the figures in respect of 2010 will not be available until early 2011.
