Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 February 2006
261 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of IDA assisted jobs that have been lost and created in Kerry in 2005; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4610/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraIDA Ireland is the agency with statutory responsibility for the attraction of foreign direct investment, FDI, to Ireland and its regions. The Forfás annual employment survey records jobs gained and lost in companies supported by the industrial development agencies. Data are compiled on an annualised basis and provisional data on a county basis for 2005 in respect of IDA client companies will not be available from that agency until the end of February. Once the data become available, I will arrange to have it forwarded to the Deputy.
