Written answers

Enterprise Ireland publishes all job announcements on its website as they are announced. A full list of job announcements since the beginning of this year is available at www.enterprise-ireland.com/en/News/PressReleases.

The following additional information was provided under Standing Order 40A

Enterprise Ireland's objective is to drive the growth of client companies in overseas markets which in turn will support existing jobs and job creation in Ireland. Enterprise Ireland (EI) partners with entrepreneurs, Irish Businesses, and the research and investment communities to develop Ireland's international trade, innovation, leadership and competitiveness. The ultimate goal is increased exports, employment and prosperity in Ireland.

EI actively works with viable companies to help them to both sustain and create jobs. A total of more than 162,000 people (full and part-time) directly rely on Enterprise Ireland client companies for their employment. Where a client company wishes to publicly announce new jobs created, Enterprise Ireland can facilitate this announcement by issuing a press release on the development.

The accompanying table provides information on the jobs announcements made by Enterprise Ireland since January 2012.
