The latest breakdown of persons engaged in Irish-owned and foreign-owned enterprises available from the Central Statistics Office is for the year 2012. The figures, which are published in Table 8.2 of the CSO’s annual Business in Ireland report, show the numbers of persons engaged in the private business economy, i.e. in private sector businesses in the Industry, Construction, and Services sectors (NACE Rev 2 codes B to N, excluding code 64.20 “Activities of Holding Companies”). These figures represent the number of persons engaged in the relevant year, as distinct from the number of jobs created over the course of the year.
