Enterprise Ireland’s mission is to partner with entrepreneurs, Irish businesses and the research and investment communities to develop Ireland’s international trade, innovation, leadership and competitiveness with the ultimate objective of job creation. Enterprise Ireland clients are a vital source of employment in every county in Ireland.

In the context of Enterprise Ireland’s investment programme it is worth noting that in 2013, 12,532 full-time jobs were created by Enterprise Ireland assisted companies, which is an increase of 2% on the number of EI assisted jobs created in 2012.

Table 1below sets out the total payments made by Enterprise Ireland to companies in each of the 26 counties in 2012 and 2013.

These payments do not include:

- Infrastructural Clients (e.g., Universities and Institutes of Technology, Seed and Venture Funds, etc.)

- Community Enterprise Centres

- Employment Subsidy Scheme
