Employment data for both IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland is collected annually as part of my Department’s Annual Employment Survey. As a result, it is not possible to provide specific employment figures for 2016 as requested.In 2015,total employment in IDA Ireland client companies stood at 187,056, making 2015 the most successful year in the Agency’s history. Table A provides a breakdown by county of all gains and losses.
One-in-five private sector jobs in the economy are as a result of IDA Ireland-supported FDI, both directly and indirectly, and represent a vital economic contribution by the multinational sector. The number of new investments secured during 2015 was 213, up from 197 in the previous year.
Enterprise Ireland (EI) also had a record year in 2015, with total employment in Enterprise Ireland-supported companies at 192,223, the highest level in its history. Tables B and C provide a breakdown by county of all gains and losses.
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.
The number of IDA Ireland site visits by county from 2011-2015 is provided in Table D. It must be noted that the number of site visits is not a true indication of activity within a county. Approximately 70% of all FDI investment won by IDA Ireland comes from its existing client base.
Note: The data in the following tables A-C is part of an active time series.
