Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2016
630. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to provide a detailed breakdown by sector of the employment status in terms of post, rate of pay, full-time and part-time, of the 3,500 new jobs supported by local enterprise offices in 2015; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16038/16]
View answerThe Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) are the ‘first-stop-shop’ for providing advice and guidance, financial assistance and other supports to those wishing to start or grow their own business.
The purpose of the LEO Annual Employment Survey (AES) is to monitor the employment performance amongst micro enterprises employing 10 people or less that have received direct financial assistance through the LEOs. The results of the AES provide a statistical breakdown on a sectoral basis and the numbers of new full time and part time jobs supported by the LEOs in those sectors as set down in the table. The LEO AES does not monitor employee status or rates of payment in client companies.
