Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 November 2015
639. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the number of jobs that were supported by Údarás na Gaeltachta in each town situated within the three parishes (details supplied) in County Donegal, by town, in each year since 2005, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40107/15]
View answerThe figures in the following tables relate to full-time, part-time and seasonal employment in the towns within the three parishes referred to by the Deputy in the period from 2005 to 2014. The trends in employment for the towns listed broadly reflect the experience of similar towns on a regional and national level. It can be seen that there was a fall in employment within Údarás na Gaeltachta client companies during the economic downturn. There was also most notably a reduction in employment in the Gaoth Dobhair area following the decision of companies such as Largo Foods to close facilities there in the last two years. Significant efforts are underway to address this trend which includes the activation of the priorities set out in the Gaoth Dobhair task force report published earlier this year.
