View answerDetails of the number of jobs promoted by IDA Ireland by salary scale are set out in the tabular statement for the years 2007 to 2012.
IDA supports job creation where a company is making a new investment in Ireland. This includes new companies opening in Ireland for the first time or the expansion of an existing operation in Ireland. The job creation support focuses on the average salaries of total new jobs created in a company. Looking at the past 6 years (2007 – 2012), the agency did not support any jobs where the average salary was greater than €150,000 per year.
