The agency employment figures are compiled in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey, the most up to date of which details figures for jobs lost up until end 2009. The only figures available to my Department are those in respect of firms assisted by the Enterprise Development agencies - IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland, which come under the aegis of my Department. As the information is compiled on an annualised basis, the figures in respect of 2010 will not be available until 2011. Details of the agency figures are set out in the following tabular statement.
My Department does not collect or retain information on the number of jobs lost in County and City Enterprise Board assisted companies.
Jobs lost in Agency Supported Companies in Waterford City & County | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 |
Enterprise Ireland Client Companies | 230 | 515 | 902 | 1,400 |
IDA Ireland Client Companies | 350 | 183 | 483 | 569 |
Total | 580 | 698 | 1,385 | 1,969 |
