IDA Ireland has informed me that it does not compile statistics on the cost per job created on a county by county basis. The metric used to assess the cost effectiveness of its grant programmes is the cost per job sustained. This measures the level of first time jobs created during a seven year period which are existing at the end of that period against IDA Ireland grants paid during the same seven year period, converted to constant prices using deflators. Grant payments net of grant refunds under all grant programmes to all companies are used in the calculation.
The tabular statement, which has been extracted from IDA Ireland’s 2011 Annual Report and Accounts, provides details of the cost per job sustained in the period 2001 to 2011 at constant 2011 prices.
