I propose to take Questions Nos. 92, 96 and 97 together.

My Department’s Annual Employment Survey reports on employment in companies supported by the Enterprise Development agencies. Data is compiled on an annual basis and is published on a 10-year time series. I have asked IDA Ireland to compile a table reflecting the time series requested by the Deputy and will provide this information as soon as it received.

IDA Ireland data on jobs created during 2015 will not be available until the Annual Employment Survey 2015 results are published in early 2016.

I am informed by IDA Ireland from the beginning of January 2015 to the end of June 2015, there were a total of 247 IDA Ireland-sponsored site visits by potential investors to various locations across the country. A breakdown of this figure is given in the attached tabular statement.

The site visit figures have not yet been verified for quarter 3 and will not be available until later this month. I will provide the Deputy with this information as soon as it is available.

Table shows the total number of IDA Ireland sponsored site visits by potential investors by county from January 2015 to end of June 2015.

Enterprise Ireland’s mission is to partner with entrepreneurs, Irish business and the research and investment communities to develop Ireland’s international trade, innovation, leadership, and competitiveness. The ultimate objective is increased employment and prosperity in Ireland. The companies that Enterprise Ireland works with are a vital source of employment, both direct and indirect, in every county in Ireland. Over the course of the period 2002 to 2010 the net jobs created in each year was as follows:

Between 2011 and 2014 Enterprise Ireland client companies have added a net 17,280 extra jobs.

Since 2009, Enterprise Ireland has continued to work with its clients to focus on job retention through the economic crisis, and then on job creation. The net job figures have increased every year since 2011, with Enterprise Ireland recording a net job increase of 8,476 in 2014, the highest in the history of the Agency.

Employment data for Enterprise Ireland is collected annually as part of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Annual Employment Survey which measures the number of jobs in Agency assisted client companies, as permanent full time jobs and “other jobs”. “Other jobs” refer to employees who are part-time, temporary, short-term contract and agency workers employed on a part-time or short-term basis or employed on contracts of less than nine months and exclude those based permanently in overseas Offices.

Table 1 identifies the breakdown by county of the permanent full time jobs (PFT) jobs created from 2002 to 2010.

Table 2 identifies the breakdown by county of “other jobs” created from 2002 to 2010.

Figures for 2000 and 2001 are not currently available.
