The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the Industrial development agencies. However, I am informed by IDA Ireland that the Forfás Employment Survey does not track jobs lost by salary. Details of the number of jobs lost in client companies of IDA Ireland in the 6 year period from 2007 to 2012 inclusive are set out in the attached tabular statement. I am glad to say that figures for 2012 show that job losses in IDA client companies continued to decline with 6,152 jobs being lost during 2012. This figure represents a decrease of over 60% on the figures for 2009.
