View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 250 and 251 together.
The figures in respect of jobs in Enterprise Development agency-supported companies and those supported by the County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs) are compiled in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey and the CEB Annual Employment Survey respectively on an annualised basis.

As the figures are compiled on an annualised basis, the figures for 2012 will be available in the early part of 2013.
