Written answers

The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the Industrial Development agencies. Details of the number of jobs created and the number of jobs created in Customer Care and International Services by IDA Ireland Client Companies in the six year period from 2007 to 2012 inclusive are set out in the attached tabular statements.

I am informed by IDA Ireland that the Forfás Employment Survey tracks employment by NACE codes (pan-European classification system which groups organisations according to their business activities). Customer care and International sales jobs would most likely fall within the International Services code. The agency has also informed me that research and development is carried out by companies across all sectors.
