Under the Industrial Development Acts, support for job creation and investment on a regional or local basis comes within the remit of the industrial development agencies. IDA Ireland is actively marketing individual areas as locations for additional foreign direct investment, while Enterprise Ireland is concentrating on the development of indigenous industries. The 35 city and county enterprise boards, CEBs, have responsibility for the micro-enterprise sector.

Employment statistics are maintained on a county basis and the tabular statement shows the numbers of new jobs created in County Louth by each of the agencies for each of the years 2000 to 2004.
