Enterprise Ireland recently reported the creation of 21,118 new jobs by client companies in 2015. This translates into a net increase of 10,169 jobs for 2015 (taking account of job losses) in Enterprise Ireland supported businesses and brings total employment in these companies to 192,223 - a record high for the agency. Almost two thirds of the new jobs created were outside Dublin and all of the regions recorded increases in full-time employment over the period. Enterprise Ireland attributes this strong, mainly export led, job creation by Irish businesses to an improving entrepreneurial climate for start-ups, dynamic Irish companies innovating and scaling up in key sectors such as food, financial technology and business process outsourcing and improving international economic conditions.

Employment data for Enterprise Ireland is collected annually as part of my Department’s Annual Employment Survey which measures the number of jobs in Agency assisted client companies on the 31 October in a given year.

I attach a breakdown of jobs created by companies supported by Enterprise Ireland in County Cavan and in County Monaghan in each of the past ten years.

It should be noted that this data is part of an active time series.
