Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Since 2011 and the change of Government, it will not surprise anyone that there has been a 17% increase in employment in Dublin. After that comes Louth with 14%, Carlow, 13%, Wexford, 13%, Meath, 12%, Monaghan, 11%, Galway city, 11%, Laois, 11%, and Kilkenny, 11%. That is further evidence that 70% of all new jobs created are now created outside Dublin.
