Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 325 to 327, inclusive, together.
I am determined to support the growth of high-quality and sustainable employment across Ireland, including in County Donegal. Last year the number of IDA supported jobs in Donegal increased by 11%, reaching a total of 3,389. The Agency continues to work hard to create further employment opportunities in the County and to increase the number of multinational companies located there, which currently include SITA, Optibelt and Pramerica.
Employment details, such as the number of employees within individual companies, are provided to the IDA on a confidential basis by its clients as they are considered sensitive commercial information. My Department is therefore unable to release this information.
The following tables outline the employment figures for Donegal from 2000 to 2017. The figures for 2018 will not be available until my Department's Annual Employment Survey (AES) is carried out in November 2018.
