Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Economic Impact of Brexit: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Kevin Sherry:

Of the jobs created by Enterprise Ireland in 2015, some 64% of the client companies were outside Dublin, which is very positive. We are focused on working through the regional action plans in terms of specific initiatives in each region and there is a plan for each region. We are very conscious of the fact that, depending upon what sector one is talking about, there are regional clusters of companies in different parts of the country. The vast majority of the companies most affected by Brexit on the manufacturing side are regionally-based companies. That is a priority for us and we are not just taking a county by county approach but a company by company approach.
