2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Leo Clancy:

LEOs can support companies with under ten employees and we support companies of ten and over. LEOs have recently had their mandate extended so they can also support companies employing between ten and 50 people on a pilot basis this year.

Typically, though, the criteria for our support is that they are manufacturing or that they are internationally traded. Then, there is a continuum between whether the LEO will support them if they employ fewer than ten people. We will support them if they employ more than ten.
