I propose to take Questions Nos. 106 and 107 together.

Details of jobs created with the assistance of the State in each of the years 2005 to 2009 inclusive, in respect of Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland supported companies, are set out in the tables.

Details of jobs existing in companies supported by Wicklow and Carlow County Enterprise Boards at the end of each year in question are also tabulated.

As this data is compiled on an annualised basis, figures in respect of 2010 will not be available until early in 2011.

I have been informed by IDA Ireland that, in the period from January 2007 to date in 2010, there have been 14 site visits to Carlow — all to Carlow town and two site visits to Wicklow — one to Bray and one to Arklow.
