Written answers

The figures in the table below relate to full-time, part-time and seasonal employment in the An Clochán Liath area of Co. Donegal from 2005 to 2014. The trends in employment for the area broadly reflect the experience of similar areas on a regional and national level.

While the figures show that there was a fall in employment in Údarás na Gaeltachta client companies during the economic downturn, the figures also show that client companies are beginning to show signs of recovery with a modest increase in employment over the last three years.
