View answerDetails of the cost per job sustained in Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland client companies in the 7 year periods from 2001 - 2007 through to 2005 - 2011 are set out in the tabular statement which follows. Costs for the period 2006 - 2012 will not be available until the 2012 annual reports of both agencies are published later this year.
The cost per job sustained in each agency is calculated by taking into account all expenditure to all firms in the period of calculation. Only jobs created during and sustained to the end of each seven year period are credited in the calculations.
In the case of the the County and City Enterprise Boards, the methodology for calculating the cost per job is set out in the Comptroller and Auditor General’s Annual Report 2010. The cost per job is calculated by dividing the total grants paid from 1993 to the current year by the total employment at the end of that year. It should be noted that this does not include Administration or Measure 2 “soft” support expenditure.
Details of the cost per job in the County and City Enterprise Boards for the years 2007 to 2012 are set out in the attached tabular statement. Data for 2013 are not yet available.
