The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the industrial development agencies. Data is compiled on an annualised basis and is aggregated at county level. Therefore, information on individual locations or breakdown by job description is not available. As companies provide data on a confidential basis, for statistical purposes only, information on individual companies is not disclosed for reasons of client confidentiality. Details of the number of IDA supported jobs created in County Louth, for the period in question is set out in the following tabular statement.
