IDA Ireland operate a total of ten offices in Ireland. This number includes their headquarters in Dublin and nine regional offices across the North-East, North-West, Midlands, West, Mid-West and South-West regions. The Agency's regional teams - as well their staff in Dublin and overseas - are working hard to attract further investment to the regions. Those efforts are producing results, with 2019 witnessing the creation of almost 5,400 net new jobs by IDA client companies in regional locations. The enterprise agencies under my remit will continue to engage with their clients and with one another to secure further investment and jobs for the regions.

The table below outlines the number of staff employed in IDA Ireland's offices across Ireland.
