This bulletin is the fifth annual report by the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (EGFSN) on skills and occupational trends in Ireland. The bulletin presents key labour market trends with the aim of assisting policy formulation in the areas of employment, education and training, and immigration. It also aims to provide information relating to developments in the Irish labour market for students, career guidance advisors, and other interested parties. The bulletin has two main purposes: to provide a statistical record of the employment data for all the main occupations in the economy and to draw on this data, and other qualitative information, to identify any shortages. This year's bulletin is based on the quarter four 2008 (September-November) Central Statistics Office (CSO) Quarterly National Household (QNHS) data. It differs from all previous issues in which the data was from quarter two each year. Due to the speed at which the economic activity has been declining, the use of the quarter two 2008 would have rendered the 2009 bulletin out of date before it was even published and therefore quarter four was used.

The Skills and Labour Market Research Unit (SLMRU) within [Foras Aiseanna Saothair] FAS was set up to investigate the supply and demand of skills in the Irish economy. [This report] is an attempt to examine the supply and demand of healthcare skills in Ireland. The report focuses on skilled healthcare occupations and examines the supply and demand trends of almost 30 occupations in the healthcare sector. The report contains details of the employment structure in each occupation including gender, numbers employed, and employment growth. This information is used to give a description of both the historical and current status of the occupations. The report also includes an analysis of a number of variables which may be regarded as indicators of shortage. These variables include immigration and vacancy data. This data, combined with the data on employment trends, provides an indicator of the current level of demand for each occupation. The report presents an overview of the current education provision for healthcare occupations and how it has evolved. It includes information on the numbers who enrol and graduate from education programmes in healthcare disciplines. This information, combined with estimates on the numbers of students who do not complete their education and the number of graduates who do not work in the healthcare sector in Ireland after graduation, is used to forecast future supply. The report also contains forecasts of the demand for healthcare professionals.
