77. Deputy James Browne asked the Taoiseach the small area data on County Wexford areas that suffered a population drop between the censuses of 2006 and 2011, 2011 and 2016, and 2006 and 2016; and the percentage of the decrease each area suffered. [11021/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraCounty Wexford contains 616 Small Areas. Small Areas are the lowest level of geography at which Census data is produced and typically contain between 50 and 200 dwellings. These were designed by the National Institute of Regional and Spatial Analysis (NIRSA) on behalf of the Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) and in consultation with the Central Statistics Office. Small Areas are nested within Electoral Division boundaries.

[12005/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 80, 124, 130, 132 and 133 together.
The Strategic Communications Unit (SCU) was established in my Department in September 2017 and the work of the Unit is currently under review.
There are currently fifteen staff in the Unit and all work on a full-time basis. The Director of the Unit was seconded to my Department from Fáilte Ireland and remains an employee of Fáilte Ireland. He was previously seconded to the (then) Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht as Director of Ireland 2016.
No other Head of Communications position has been established by my Department.
On establishment of the Unit, staff in the Government Information Service (GIS) and some staff working on communications projects in my Department were redeployed to work in the SCU. The salary scale, employment status and provenance of all staff working in the SCU is detailed in the following table:

All staff working in the SCU - with the exception of the two staff members seconded from Fáilte Ireland and existing Department of the Taoiseach staff redeployed to work in the Unit - responded to a cross-civil and public service request for expressions of interest and interviewed for their roles. Arising from this process, four applicants were also placed on panels to fill any vacancies that may arise in the Unit in the future.
The standard civil service reporting structure applies within the Unit and the Director of the Unit reports to the Secretary General of my Department.
Because the SCU was established in Q3 2017, provision was not made for it in my Department's 2017 Estimates. Approximately €50,000 was expended by the SCU from September to December 2017 and was met from my Department’s administrative budget.
In Budget 2018, provision was made in my Department’s 2018 Estimates for a non-pay budget of €5m to be made available to the SCU.
Salary budgets are not delegated to individual Divisions / Business Units in my Department. All salary costs for the SCU are met from my Department's administrative budget.
81. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Taoiseach the volume and value of exports in euro terms based on the most recent data on a percentage basis in 2016 and 2017 by country in tabular form. [11015/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe official measure of Ireland's exports is produced by the Central Statistics Office. The value of goods and service exports on a percentage basis with a breakdown by country of destination is shown in the Statistical Yearbook of Ireland. The table below is from the latest edition which contains data for 2016. For Balance of Payments and National Accounts purposes the data include conceptual adjustments for goods exports which relate to the recognition of a change of economic ownership taking place. The volumes of both goods and services exports are not available.
