Written answers

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

I have been informed by IDA Ireland that 25% of all investments approved by the Agency in 2012 were in locations outside of Dublin and Cork, while 35% of all investments announced in 2012 were in locations outside of Dublin and Cork. However, some of the investments announced would have been approved in previous years. Details of IDA Ireland announcements for 2012 are set out in the tabular statement.
