Details of Enterprise Ireland’s job and investment announcements to August 2012, and those of IDA Ireland and Shannon Development, are published on their respective websites – ; and . However, I should point out that some investment and job creation projects in client companies are not announced by these agencies, for example, in cases where the company involved does not wish this to happen.

The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and Shannon Development. Data is compiled on an annualised basis. It is not possible to provide information in respect of individual companies as such information is provided by the client companies on a confidential basis and for statistical purposes only.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 177 and 181 together.

Details of IDA Ireland’s job and investment announcements up to the 19th of September, 2012 are published on the Agency’s website – www.idaireland.ie. It must be remembered that some investment and job creation projects are not announced.

The cost of supporting individual jobs in individual companies is confidential to the client companies. However, the cost per job sustained is available in the IDA Ireland’s Annual Reports which are also available on its website. The cost per job sustained is calculated by taking into account all IDA Ireland expenditure to all firms in the period of calculation. Only jobs created during and sustained to the end of each seven year period are credited in the calculations. The IDA Annual Report for 2011 shows that the cost per job sustained fell from €18,989 in the period 1996 – 2000 to €14,202 in the period 2005 – 2011.

The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the enterprise development agencies. Data is compiled on an annualised basis and is aggregated at county level. It is not possible to provide information in respect of individual companies as information is provided on a confidential basis for statistical purposes only. The survey shows that in the three year period 2009 to 2011, inclusive, there were a total of 25,908 new jobs created in IDA Ireland’s client companies. Details of new jobs created in each of the years in question are shown in the following tabular statement.
