IDA Ireland’s official employment figures are drawn from the employment survey that is conducted annually by my Department.

During 2016, the Agency's client companies created just under 19,000 (18,627) jobs on the ground across a range of sectors, with every region of Ireland posting net gains in jobs.

The table sets out the total number of IDA Ireland supported jobs, across the regions, as of 31 December 2016.
