The issue of job creation and retention in enterprise agency supported companies are day-to-day matters for the agencies themselves and not one in which I am directly involved. However, Shannon Development informs me that three new jobs were created in the Information Age Park in Ennis between January and August 2009. Nine jobs were lost at this business park by August 2009, with six of these transferring to other business parks. The number of jobs excluding those transferred from the existing business centre in Ennis, created at the business park since 2005 is 64. Clare County Council also occupied a number of suites in Block A and B from 1 May 2005 to 31 January 2008 with 150 staff approximately.
