Michael Fitzmaurice

Question:

61. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Taoiseach the number of companies that operate here that do not trade goods or services here. [40611/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) does not compile separate statistics on the number of companies that do not trade in goods or services in Ireland. Under current EU statistical legislation, holding companies (NACE category 64.20) are excluded from Business Demography statistics due to the complexities of such analysis.
