I propose to take Questions Nos. 176 and 178 together.

As Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, I welcome all announcements concerning the creation of jobs. All press releases relating to job creation issued by my Department’s Press Office are available at: http://www.enterprise.gov.ie/Press-Releases/.

Details of Enterprise Ireland’s job and investment announcements to August 2012, and those of IDA Ireland and Shannon Development, are published on their respective websites – www.enterprise-ireland.com; www.idaireland.ie and www.shannon-dev.ie. However, I should point out that some investment and job creation projects in client companies are not announced by these agencies, for example, in cases where the company involved does not wish this to happen.

The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and Shannon Development. Data is compiled on an annualised basis. It is not possible to provide information in respect of individual companies as such information is provided by the client companies on a confidential basis and for statistical purposes only.
