These jobs are expected to come on stream over the next three years. However, it must be remembered that for a variety of reasons, some job creation projects are not announced, for example, in cases where the company involved does not wish this to happen.

It is also important to note that the number of jobs created by IDA companies typically exceeds the number of jobs actually announced.

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 annualized basis and is aggregated at county level. The information is provided by companies on a confidential basis for statistical purposes only. It is therefore not possible to provide information at company level or for individual locations throughout the country.
