Richard Bruton
Question:80 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the cost per job created and sustained in internationally traded services, distinguishing those that are Irish-owned versus those owned by overseas companies.
Written Answers. - Job Creation Costs.
I understand from the IDA that the cost per job created and sustained for IDA companies engaged in international services over the period 1986 to 1992 was £7,066 for indigenous firms and £8,894 for foreign firms, including overseas companies in the mid-west region for which the IDA has responsibility.
These cost per job figures reflect, in constant 1992 prices, the sum of all IDA grant payments over a seven year period, divided by the number of First Time Jobs created and still in existence at the end of that seven year period.
