Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2013
219. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the details of the funding allocated through the microenterprise loan fund scheme through Microfinance Ireland for an area (details supplied); broken down into the number of applications received; the number approved; the total value of loans approved to each business; the number of jobs supported in each enterprise; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44394/13]
View answerThe Deputy should note that details in relation to applications to Microfinance Ireland (MFI) are collected at a county level only and not by specific regions within a county. County level data is available in the quarterly progress reports from MFI which are published on my Department's website www.enterprise.gov.ie. The progress report detailing the analysis and performance of the Scheme for the quarterly period ending 30th June 2013 is available on my Department's website. I intend to publish the next progress report for the period to September 2013 by the end of October, once the report has been finalised.
