    Hello,

    I am working on a business idea for SMEs as part of a college project where I needed to come up with an idea, and then progress it further with a business plan.

    I am trying to source some statistics on SMEs in Ireland, however the CSO website had nothing after 2008, and so far I have not found much else.

    Information I would be after would be along the lines of:

    - how many SMEs are in Ireland
    - how many people are employed
    - what industry and/or business sectors do they serve, or
    - some kind of break down by type of business
    - Etc...

    If anyone has any pointers on where I could find some of this information, it would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks !

    Not good, went with the CSO information although out of date in the end due to assignment deadlines, got no responses from any emails sent to the organisations mentioned. :(

    Good luck !
