Question:24. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Taoiseach for a report on his attendance at the European Council on 29 and 30 June 2023. [32453/23]
View answerWritten answers
I attended the meeting of the European Council on 29/30 June in Brussels.
We discussed Ukraine, economic issues, security and defence, migration, and external relations, including China.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke via video conference, updating us on the situation on the ground. We reaffirmed our enduring solidarity with Ukraine, acknowledged Ukraine’s commitment to EU accession, discussed future security commitments to Ukraine, welcomed progress on measures to ensure Russian accountability, took stock of work exploring the use of immobilised Russian assets, welcomed the adoption of the 11th sanctions package, and reviewed efforts to further weaken Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Leaders also discussed the current economic situation, including economic security; migration, including the need for a comprehensive approach; security and defence, including progress on the “Strategic Compass”; and relations with China and the need to reduce dependencies in our supply chains, as well as human rights concerns.
Ahead of our meeting, we met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, and discussed EU-NATO cooperation. We also considered a new partnership package with Tunisia and the EU perspective of the Western Balkans. We called for an immediate de-escalation of the situation in Kosovo; reaffirmed our commitment to a settlement of the situation in Cyprus; and looked ahead to the EU-Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) Summit which I will attend in Brussels on 17/18 July.

Job Creation
Questions (45)
Colm Burke
Question:45. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Taoiseach how many new jobs have been created in Cork for the period 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022. [31605/23]
View answerWritten answers
The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State.
Due to the methodology and sample size of the survey it is not possible to produce reliable county estimates from the LFS.
Regional estimates of employment are produced by NUTS 3 level. NUTS are the geocode standard developed and regulated by Eurostat.
The NUTS 3 South-West region includes counties Cork and Kerry.
The table below shows the number of persons aged 15 – 89 years in employment in the South-West region between Q1 2018 and Q4 2022.
The table shows the overall stock of persons employed at given points in time. It is not possible to determine from the survey whether a job is newly created.
In Q1 2018 there were 314,800 persons aged 15-89 were in employment (based on standard ILO criteria) in the South-West region. In Q4 2022 there 368,800 persons aged 15-89 employed in the South-West. This is an increase of 54,000 persons or 17.2%.
