The number of new first time jobs created by the IDA in these town groupings in the past five years is as follows: Ballybunon, Ballylongford, Listowel and Tarbert, 287; Ballyheigue, Castleisland, Farranfore, Killarney, Killorglin, Rathmore, Tralee, 1,049. These figures represent 64 per cent and 70 per cent respectively of the job creation targets set for the town groupings in the Industrial Plan.
