With regard to individual company announcements, the appended table sets out the number of job announcements made by Enterprise Ireland (EI) clients in association with EI, in the years 2011 and 2012.
It is generally expected that jobs announced as part of a joint press release will come on stream in a three year period following the announcement. It should however, be noted that some job creation projects are not announced, for example in cases where the company does not wish for publicity. Where a client company wishes to publicly announce new jobs created, Enterprise Ireland can facilitate this announcement by issuing a press release in conjunction with the company. While the number of jobs created at each site can be commercially sensitive and therefore not published individually, Enterprise Ireland tracks all jobs created, by reference to the commitment given in the legal agreement entered into between the Agency and the company at the time of support approval. EI may withdraw, or claw back, any funding approved or paid out to a company where the legal agreement has been breached.
The overall jobs performance by EI client companies including where the jobs are created is subject to a number of factors. The employment performance of EI client companies is measured annually by the Forfás Employment Survey. This survey, typically carried out in October of each year in respect of the previous year, is reported on, in agency end-of-year statements and annual reports, and details the employment position of agency clients. Table 1 summarises the total number of jobs created in 2011 and 2012. The 2013 survey, which will be available in the early part of 2014, will detail the jobs created by EI clients in 2013.
As Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, I welcome all announcements concerning the creation of jobs, which is a key priority for the Government.
