Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 February 2013
40. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the total number of new Enterprise Ireland and Industrial Development Agency Ireland jobs announced for each of the past five years; the number of these jobs that were filled; and the number left unfilled. [9045/13]
View answerThe Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the enterprise development agencies but does not collect data relating to unfilled posts. The number of job announcements together with associated potential job numbers in IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland’s client companies in each of the past five years are set out in the tables, as are details of the actual number of jobs created in client companies of each of the Agencies. However, there is usually a time lag of up to three years between the announcement of a job and that job coming on stream. It should be noted that some investment and job creation projects are not announced, for example, in cases where the company does not wish for publicity.
