The issues 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 acts in a landlord capacity in the Information Age Park, Ennis (IAPE). Most of the tenants in IAPE are small firms. Shannon Development informs me that twelve new jobs were created in the Information Age Park in Ennis in 2009 with a net job increase of three in 2009. The number of new jobs created at the Information Age Park since it was established in April 2005 to date is one hundred, including seventeen jobs that transferred from the Clare Business Centre to the Information Age Park in April 2005.
