I am informed by Forfás that its annual employment survey records employment in sectors according to NACE (European Industrial Activity Classification) codes. Jobs in the air craft leasing industry are included in the NACE Code for Financial Services. Forfás has informed me that, while the 2011 Employment Survey showed that there were 15,961 permanent jobs and 1,053 other jobs in the Financial Services Sector, it is not possible to identify the number of these jobs that relate to the aircraft leasing industry.
Enquiries made of the enterprise agencies that fall under the aegis of my Department namely Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and Shannon Development have revealed that they have 14 client companies in the aircraft leasing sector who employ approximately 420 full time employees.
