Figures in respect of the number of jobs created or lost in firms assisted by Enterprise Ireland are compiled annually in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey. As the information is compiled on an annualised basis, the figures in respect of 2011 will not be available until later in 2012. Details of the number of jobs created Enterprise Ireland assisted companies for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, are set out in the Table at Appendix 2.

The cost per job supported by the County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs) for the period requested by the Deputy is set out in tabular format below:

*In 2010 the CEB database was updated to provide more detailed figures; this figure represents 4,433 full time job gains plus 2,936 other job gains, offset by losses of 4,961 full-time jobs and 2,294 other jobs, rather than a count of the increase/decrease jobs existing figure from the previous year.

Figures in respect of 2011 are currently being collated and should be available within the first quarter of 2012.
