The CSO Outward Foreign Affiliates Survey (OFATS) surveys Irish enterprises with affiliates abroad. This is an annual survey, and the latest results available are for reference year 2014. Results for 2015 will be available in August 2017.
The survey indicates that in 2014 there were nearly 200 Irish owned enterprises with affiliates in the UK. These enterprises generated €37.6 billion turnover and had over 86,000 persons in employment in the UK. Most of these enterprises operated in the Financial & Insurance, Wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, Professional, Information & communications and Manufacturing sectors, with a limited number elsewhere in the UK business economy.
