I propose to take Questions Nos. 144 and 145 together.
The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available. The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. The most recent figures available are for Q4 2014. Estimates of employment are produced by NUTS 3 Region. Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable County estimates from the QNHS.
Table 1 shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment who are self-employed classified by NUTS3 Region in Q4 of 2014.
