I propose to answer Questions Nos. 307 and 309 together.

IDA Ireland approved 164 investments during 2013, as announced in the Agency’s End of Year results. I am informed by IDA Ireland that a number of the 164 investments are proceeding without grant aid. In relation to those projects which will be grant aided, the amount of grant aid approved in respect of individual projects is not released for reasons of client confidentiality and commercial sensitivity. In any event, the grants approved during 2013 were not paid in 2013 but will be drawn down over the lifetime of the project, typically over a period of 3 to 5 years.

I am happy to inform the Deputy that during 2012, the most recent year for which audited figures are available, IDA Ireland paid out a total of €89,951,297 in grant aid to its client companies. These payments were typically in respect of projects that had been approved in the 3 to 5 year period prior to 2012. I understand from the Agency that preliminary figures for grant payments in 2013 are broadly in line with the 2012 figures.

While IDA Ireland approved 164 new investments during 2013, it should be noted that, for a variety of reasons, the details of some investments are never announced or announced at a later stage. The ultimate decision relating to announcements is made by the client company. The attached tabular statement provides the details of those investments that were announced during 2013. The jobs announced are expected to come on stream over the next 3 to 5 years.
