151. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment the number of people employed directly by companies registered as companies limited by guarantee at the end of 2024; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53228/25]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 150 and 151 together.

I refer to Minister Burke's recent response (PQ 46366/25) on 8th September 2025 to the Deputy on this matter. As advised, there were 19,038 companies limited by guarantee on the Register of Companies at the end of 2024. The Companies Registration Office does not collect data on the number of persons employed in a company.
