I have been informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that the grant cost per job for 2017 was €5,500 and that the average cost per job over the past five years was €5,084. The cost per job reflects grant payments towards capital, employment, research and development and specific training paid to client companies but excludes FIFG (Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance) and Research/Development/Innovation funding.

The figure in respect of 2018 is not available at present.
