Question:
To ask the Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment to detail the number of jobs created in (i) 2012/13; and (ii) 2013/14; and of this number, how many were part-time positions.

Answer:

Support offered by Invest NI has helped to create (i) 6,194 new jobs in 2012-13 and (ii) 6,785 new jobs in 2013-14.

Invest NI offers of support towards job creation projects are calculated on a full-time equivalent basis therefore our systems do not hold the information requested.

Invest NI continues to promote new jobs across Northern Ireland with recent support in East Londonderry for S.J.C. Hutchinson (Engineering) Limited to promote 36 new jobs and Ballyrashane Co-Operative Agricultural and Dairy Society Limited to promote 20 new jobs.
