Ceist:93 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of jobs created and assisted by her in County Leitrim in each of the years from 1997 to 2001 and to 31 January 2002. [6364/02]
Written Answers. - Job Creation.
The issue of job creation is a day-to-day operational issue for agencies under the aegis of my Department and not one for which I, as Minister, would have a direct function. The figures requested by the Deputy are set out in the tabular statement above, which gives details of all jobs created and lost in County Leitrim by IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland assisted companies during the years 1997 to 2001 inclusive.
