Vol. 436 No. 7
188 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the total number of persons currently employed by the co-operatives in this country; the number so employed ten years ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Statistics relating to the information sought by the Deputy are not available in the form requested. The Labour Force Survey and the Census of Population by the Central Statistics Office record data on employment according to industrial sector rather than according to the structure of the employing firm.
