The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on the jobs created and lost in the companies supported by the enterprise development agencies. Details of the number of jobs lost in client companies of IDA Ireland in the 5 year period 2007 to 2011 are set out in the following tabular statement.

I am glad to say that figures for 2012 show that job losses in IDA client companies continue to decline with 6,152 jobs being lost during 2012. This figure represents a decrease of over 60% on the figures for 2009.
