I have been informed by IDA Ireland that the number of itineraries that have been hosted by them in each county to date in 2011 and for each year since 2003 is as set out in the following tabular statement.
However, I would ask the Deputy to note that these figures are not indicative of the number of companies that visited the country. Companies may visit more than one region and more than one location within a county. Therefore, these figures indicate the number of individual site visits made to various sites around the country.

Question 170: To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of Industrial Development Agency companies based in County Monaghan; the years in which they were established; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14338/11]

I have been informed by IDA Ireland that the number of IDA supported companies based in County Monaghan is six, employing 367 permanent employees in total. These companies were established in County Monaghan over the period 1969 to 2002.
While IDA Ireland seeks to influence the selection of location, the final decision on location is taken in all cases by the promoting company.
