Vol. 554 No. 5
179 Mr. Ferris asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the most recent figures on jobs created through foreign direct investment, showing the breakdown between the two regions established under Agenda 2000. [16445/02]
I assume the Deputy is referring to the National Development Plan 2000-2006. Job creation figures in respect of 2000 and 2001 are listed in the tabular statement below. Figures for 2002 will not be available until the year end.
