273. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if the Office of Public Works has completed the transfer of lands to Kilkenny Borough Council in respect of a housing estate (details supplied) in County Kilkenny. [41946/13]
View answerThe Commissioners of Public Works, have progressed this transfer as far as possible. The appropriate Deed of Transfer was furnished to the Solicitors for Kilkenny Borough Council some time ago. This Deed must be executed by Kilkenny Borough Council before the matter can be progressed.
Once the Deed has been executed by the Council the transfer of the lands will be completed.
274. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the position regarding measures to prevent flooding from the River Wad in Donnycarney (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41992/13]
View answerThe application for advancing flood mitigation works in the Donnycarney area of the River Wad has recently been approved by the Office of Public Works. The project is now moving forward with Dublin City Council acting as Contracting Authority and securing the necessary landowner consents. The OPW will be carrying out the main elements of the mitigation works as agent of the Council using its own labour force. The required materials and equipment are currently being procured and it is expected that works will commence before the end of the year.
275. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will indicate, in respect of public health doctors and community medicine doctors who are on salaries of €65,000 or less and who work less than whole-time hours, are having pay cuts imposed in breach of the Haddington Road agreement; the measures he proposes to address same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42035/13]
View answerIt is a well established principle that the pay of job or work sharers and those on atypical work patterns is calculated by reference to the whole time equivalent pay rate for the grade or post in question. Under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013, pay reductions for public servants including public health doctors on annual salary rates in excess of €65,000 are calculated by reference to the full time equivalent salary and applied on a pro rata basis to those who work less than full time hours. The reduced pay rates are calculated and applied in this way which is consistent with the legislation governing the conditions of employment of part-time workers. Accordingly, the reduction in the rate of pay for full time and job sharing public servants is the same and any change in this relationship would create an inequity in the rate of pay for those doing similar work.
276. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the total funds that are available in the stimulus plan announced on 17 July 2012; the amount that has been spent; what it has been spent on; the number of jobs that have been created as a result; the amount that has been left unspent; and the plans regarding same. [42315/13]
View answerIn July 2012, the Government announced plans for an additional 2.25 billion euro investment in public infrastructure projects in Ireland. The stimulus package comprises two elements:
- 1.4 billion euro to fund the proposed new Public Private Partnerships (PPP) programme. The National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) and the Department of Finance are leading on sourcing the private funding required and are liaising with my Department in this regard;
- 850 million euro coming from asset receipts, to be used as a project preparation facility for the new PPP programme and to fund additional Exchequer capital projects and other publicly needed projects.
The PPP programme will provide schools, roads, health centres, justice facilities and the development of a major third level facility in Grangegorman. Details of all projects and progress to date included in the Stimulus Package are published on the PPP website www.ppp.gov.ie .
It has been the Government’s consistent position that funds released from asset disposals should be used to support job creating initiatives in the economy. Funding for enabling works for these PPP projects has already been agreed with departments. Some development works are already underway and up to 50 million euro is expected to be spent next year. The bulk of the funding for PPPs will come from the private sector and will be spent as projects commence construction. Work is on-going to identify suitable projects as other funding becomes available.
As you know job creation is a critical priority for Government. Investment in the projects included in the Stimulus Package is expected to generate approximately 13,000 direct, and many more indirect jobs spread out across the country. At this early stage in the process, most of the employment impact has been in the technical and advisory areas. Further appointments are pending and employment benefits will be evident as the projects progress through the tendering phase and construction gets underway. The indicative timetable for the projects suggests construction is expected to commence on the first roads project by the end of 2013 and on the accommodation projects by Q4 2014.
Although not part of the new PPP programme, as part of the on-going monitoring of employment on current PPPs, the latest figures from the Schools Bundle 3 project indicate 4,079 man-months of full time equivalent employment have been engaged up to the end of August.
We will also be introducing social clauses into capital works projects in so far as possible to help support new jobs and youth employment. Already a pilot is underway on the schools programme which requires that 10% of the aggregate number of person weeks carried out on the site to be undertaken by those who are recruited from the ranks of the long-term unemployed and 2.5% of the aggregate number of person weeks carried out on the site to be undertaken by apprentices.
277. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the position regarding the Enniscorthy flood relief scheme; when it is planned to remove the Seamus Rafter Bridge; when the pre-qualification competition assessment is expected to be completed; when the county council proposes to commence elements of the flood defence in advance of the main contract; what these elements will comprise; the persons who are the local interest groups that the county council are working in conjunction with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42316/13]
View answerWexford County Council is acting as the Contracting Authority for the River Slaney (Enniscorthy) Flood Relief Scheme as agent of the Office of Public Works. The Council is responsible for the programming of the works, for procuring the necessary consultants and contractors, and for liaising with stakeholders.
The timeframe for removal of Seamus Rafter Bridge, which is an integral part of the scheme, is still to be determined as it is dependent on the construction of a replacement road bridge over the Slaney to the south of the town.
The pre-qualification process for the appointment of both the Engineering Consultants for the main flood defence scheme itself, and the construction of the replacement road bridge and associated pedestrian bridge has been completed by the Council. The successful consultants will shortly be requested to submit tenders for these areas of work.
Prior to the commencement of the main flood defence scheme there is a requirement to relocate existing drainage pipes and other utilities services in the areas of the Promenade and the Swimming Pool. The designs for these works are at an advanced stage and it is expected that consultation will take place in the coming 4 to 6 weeks between Enniscorthy Town Council, Wexford County Council and the Business Community in Enniscorthy. The Council envisages that these advance works will not commence until early 2014.
Progression of the overall scheme will be dependent on the continued availability of funding for flood risk management and on statutory approval being secured from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in due course.
278. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he has brought in new guidelines to allow for a record to be kept of ministerial involvement with an issue and any decisions taken as per the commitment made in the programme for Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30044/13]
View answerThe Programme for Government contains a number of commitments, including that referred to in the Deputy’s question, to ensure that there is legal clarity and certainty regarding the legal relationship between Ministers and their civil servants and the appropriate accountabilities that apply in each case. As I have previously informed the House, my Department carried out a review of the existing accountability framework for ministers and civil servants set out in the Ministers and Secretaries Acts and the Public Service Management Act, 1997. A consultation paper based on the outcome of that review is currently being finalised.
The case for guidelines in relation to the documentation of decision making can be assessed in the context of the process following the publication of the consultation paper.
279. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the progress made in his programme for Government on senior public servants, including political appointees not working in the private sector, until two years have elapsed after they have left public service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30040/13]
View answerThe Programme for Government commitment has been examined in the first instance in the context of the introduction of a statutory register of lobbyists and rules governing the conduct of lobbying.
Government approval was secured at the end of April for the drafting of the Lobbying Regulation Bill 2013 by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. The General Scheme has been referred to the Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform Committee for pre-legislative scrutiny. It is anticipated that the Bill will be published by end year. In this Bill it is proposed that restrictions in relation to the “cooling off” period should be focused and targeted on the specific conflict of interest expected to arise in a lobbying situation.
The legislation will require certain designated public officials or office holders to apply to the Lobbying Registrar for approval to take up a position involving lobbying of former colleagues (e.g. principals, peers or subordinates) in the public body in which they previously worked (or in a further public body to which such colleagues have subsequently transferred) during a period of one year subsequent to having left the public service.
This approach allows the Lobbying Registrar to permit, for example, the take up of employment but to impose restrictions in relation to engagement in certain activities rather than a blanket ban. This approach seeks to deliver on the policy objective of regulating this area while adopting a fair and proportionate approach on a case by case basis.
It should also be noted that the cooling-off period proposed is limited to one year rather than the two year period included in the Programme for Government. This revised approach reflects a review by my Department of the duration of similar provisions in other jurisdictions which highlights that the introduction of a two-year restriction for a relatively wide body of public officials would fall into the upper-end of the international norms in this area (notwithstanding that there are significantly longer cooling–off periods in force in some jurisdictions). The one-year period also aligns with the current post-public employment restriction in place under the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour.
The relevant OECD principles also highlight the requirement for countries to consider establishing restrictions for public officials leaving office to address other potential conflict of interest situations that could arise. As the Deputy is aware, it is planned that these other elements of the Programme for Government commitment which also arise from the recommendations contained in the final report of the Mahon Tribunal will be addressed through the reform of the legislative framework for ethics which is currently being progressed by my Department.
280. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide an update on the programme for Government commitment on overhauling the Top Level Appointments Commission; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39074/13]
View answerIn mid-2011 the structure of the Top Level Appointments Committee (TLAC) was reformed such that it would have a majority of external members of whom one would be the Chair. Since then there have been a number of developments in the recruitment and selection process at Secretary General and Assistant Secretary General level and equivalent.
- The number of candidates appointed from outside the Civil Service is gradually increasing and the majority of these external appointments are from the Private Sector.
- Mobility of Civil Servants to TLAC level posts in other Departments is increasing.
- Executive search services in addition to the Public Appointments Service, have been retained to ensure that the widest possible pool of suitable candidates is available for these most senior Civil Service positions.
- TLAC has prepared revised Policies and Procedures.
281. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his views on whether the policy of senior public servants not taking part in political or referendum campaigns is worthwhile; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39075/13]
View answerPolicies relating to the participation of public servants vary across different areas of the public service and restrictions on political activity are not uniform. My own Department is responsible for the policy that applies in relation to civil servants and political activity. This is set out in Circular 9/2009, available on www.circulars.gov.ie.
There are clear restrictions on the majority of civil servants participating in political activity. While there are some exceptions to this - including clerical staff with the approval of the Department, craft workers, state industrial and manual grades and grades below clerical grades - they are limited.
In the civil service there has been a long tradition of political impartiality. This approach is reflected in the Code of Standards and Behaviour for Civil Servants. The Code, at paragraph 4 states, that civil servants in the performance of their duties:
a. must conscientiously serve the duly elected Government of the day, the other institutions of State and the public;
b. must advise and implement policy impartially and, in particular, be conscious of the need to maintain the independence necessary to give any future Minister or Government confidence in their integrity, and
c. should not display partiality whether as a result of personal or family ties or otherwise.
The rationale for restricting civil servants in relation to politics and political activity is to ensure that a civil servant does not do anything that could give rise to a perception that his or her official actions are in any way influenced or capable of being influenced by political motives.
It is my view that this policy remains relevant and worthwhile for civil servants to safeguard the fundamental principles of civil service impartiality and independence.
I understand that there is no comparable restriction on political activity in other sectors of the public service.
282. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the structural reforms he has in mind to follow the short-term holding position achieved under the Haddington Road agreement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41487/13]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the Government’s Public Service Reform Plan was published in November 2011 and set out an agenda for long-term sustainable reform of the Public Service. This represents a key element of the Government’s response to the economic situation and the need to continue to deliver important services, in the face of increased demands and reduced staff numbers and budgets.
This phase of reform has included a very strong focus on implementation and delivery of reform, and substantial progress has been made in areas such as reducing costs, improving efficiency and enhancing service delivery.
The final report on progress under the Croke Park Agreement concluded that it facilitated significant cost savings, amounting to €1.8 billion over its lifetime, comprising of almost €1 billion in pay savings and over €800m in non-pay efficiency savings, while also ensuring the delivery of a large number of reforms across all sectors of the Public Service.
The Haddington Road Agreement, which came into force on 1 July, sets out the basis for a further contribution of €1 billion by the public service pay and pensions bill to our fiscal recovery, through a series of equitable and sustainable measures. These measures will allow for the creation of a more streamlined and unified public service.
The Agreement also represents the largest productivity deal in the history of the State and will deliver an unprecedented increase in productivity across the Public Service through the provision of almost 15 million additional working hours by public servants. This will help deliver long term and sustainable increases in productivity by reducing the requirement for paid overtime hours and agency costs and allowing management to maintain services against the backdrop of decreasing staff numbers, without any impact on services.
It should be noted that the Agreement is not a short-term measure, rather it is a three-year agreement which will deliver long term sustainable reform in the Public Service, building on the significant change already delivered.
Almost two years since the Public Service Reform Plan was published, work is now underway to develop a renewed wave of reforms to build on progress to-date and refresh the current reform plan. The Renewed Plan will address next steps for the existing reform areas set out in the current Public Service Reform Plan, as well as the identification of some new areas for reform.
283. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the reason Ireland has failed to transpose Council Directive 2010/32/EU known as the SHARPS directive; the date on which this will happen; the sanctions that have been incurred; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42179/13]
View answerThe transposition of the provisions of Council Directive 2010/32/EU of 10 May 2010 implementing the Framework Agreement on the prevention from sharps injuries in the hospital and healthcare sector is being carried out by my Department in consultation with the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) and the Office of the Parliamentary Council to the Government (OPC).
During consideration of the Draft Regulations a number of legal issues were identified that have delayed completion of the Regulations. While work continues on resolving these issues, it was not possible to formally settle the proposed Regulations from a legal perspective in time to meet the transposition deadline of 11 May 2013 as set down in Article 3 of the Directive.
My Department is working with the OPC to find a solution to these outstanding legal issues in order to be in a position to introduce legislation that is workable and enforceable and that meets the requirements of the Directive.
My Department has been in contact with the European Commission to advise it of the delay in transposition and continues to keep them informed of progress. No sanction has been incurred to date.
Notwithstanding that the "Sharps" Directive itself has yet to be transposed through national Regulations, the duties to maintain a safe and healthy workplace under the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and associated regulations still obtain.
284. Deputy Nicky McFadden asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if the current requirement for companies, which otherwise could avail of the audits exemption to complete two years statutory audits where annual return filings have been submitted late to the Companies Registration Office, will be removed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41850/13]
View answerSection 53 of the Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Act 2003 sets out that a company, having met the conditions in section 32(3) of the Companies (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1999, is not entitled to the exemption from the requirement to have its accounts audited in a financial year unless it has made its annual return on time for that year and the previous year.
I requested that the matter of loss of audit exemption due to late filing of annual returns be examined by the Company Law Review Group (CLRG) in detail in 2011 with a view to receiving a recommendation on whether any change should be made to the combined regime of late filing penalties and loss of audit exemption for qualifying companies in the case of late filing. The CLRG, which is composed of many company law practitioners and members of the accounting profession, recommended no change to the present regime.
While I support reducing burdens on business where warranted by circumstances, in the present case it is in the public interest that companies comply with filing requirements with the Companies Registration Office so that interested parties have timely access to this essential information.
285. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation his plans to bring in legislation to deal with the gap in the law (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42106/13]
View answerThere are two significant issues that arise in this case. Firstly the matter of seeking to enforce the payment of an award made by one of the employment rights bodies and secondly on this not succeeding, the potential to have recourse to the Insolvency Payments Scheme for payment of that award.
I am fully aware of the difficulties that can be experienced by individuals who have had awards made in their favour by employment rights bodies, including the Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT), in enforcing those awards where employers fail or are not in a position to pay such awards.
Under the current system of enforcement, the holder of an EAT award or their trade union may seek to enforce the award themselves through the Circuit Court or they may seek the assistance of the Minister to have this process carried out on their behalf. This involves the use of the Enforcement Services Unit of the National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) to have such awards enforced if appropriate through the civil courts.
I acknowledge that the system of enforcement of awards that has developed over the years has become complex and in some cases involves very long delays. In this context and in relation to industrial relations and employment rights generally I have initiated a root-and-branch reform with the objective of establishing a world-class Workplace Relations Service.
I believe that for a workplace relations system to have credibility it must be supported by proportionate, effective and efficient compliance and enforcement measures. The current system of enforcement of employment rights awards is cumbersome, expensive and not fit for purpose. For this reason, I am proposing to make provision in the Workplace Relations Bill for a range of enhanced compliance measures, including the use of Compliance Notices, Fixed Charge Notices and a new mechanism for enforcing awards of the WRC Adjudicators and Labour Court Determinations. These measures will provide for more proportionate, efficient and effective enforcement of employment law.
Under the new reformed system, if the decision of a WRC adjudication officer (at first instance) or a determination of the Labour Court (on appeal) remains unimplemented, the complainant may apply, in the former case to the Workplace Relations Commission or, in the latter case, to the Labour Court, for a binding and enforceable Determination Order directing the respondent to comply within a specified period. A Determination Order made by the WRC or Labour Court may be enforced by either civil proceedings or criminal prosecution, or both.
I am satisfied that the measures which I propose to introduce will provide successful complainants with an accessible and inexpensive means whereby respondents can be compelled to honour the award of the WRC Adjudication Service or of the Labour Court, as the case may be.
Where an employer is legally insolvent (liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy etc.) the employee may be entitled to seek redress from the State under the Insolvency Payments Scheme which is operated by my colleague, the Minister for Social Protection. I am aware that there are some cases including the present case, where employers have ceased trading without engaging in a formal insolvency or winding-up process and where the company may have closed owing certain payments or statutory awards to its former employees. Whilst it will not be possible to address the issue of so-called 'informal insolvency' through the workplace relations reforms which I have commenced, as it raises issues concerning insolvency law and the operation of the Insolvency Payments Scheme, I am informed by the Minister for Social Protection that the legislative position with regard to these types of situations is currently being reviewed by her Department with a view to establishing what, if anything, can be done to progress payments to individuals where no liquidator or receiver has been appointed.
Any queries concerning such issues under the Insolvency Payments Scheme including policy, are fully within the remit of my colleague the Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton T.D and should be made directly to her.
286. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if the industrial relations arms of the State will step in to help resolve a situation (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42156/13]
View answerWhere an award under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act, 1973 has been made in favour of an employee, and the employer fails to pay the award, the employee or his/her trade union may make an application to the Circuit Court for an order directing the employer to comply with the determination.
Where an employee is not in a position to pursue a case in the Circuit Court, (e.g. for reasons of cost) the matter can be referred to the Enforcement Services Unit of the National Employment Rights Authority (NERA), which may, in certain circumstances, make an application to the Courts for an order on his/her behalf.
In deciding whether or not to intervene in the Minister’s name, NERA would have regard to the amount of the award, the potential for achieving a favourable outcome for the claimant and the scale of the costs likely to be incurred in doing so.
The enforcement of a Circuit Court order whether directly obtained by the employee, their Union or NERA is the responsibility of the relevant County Sheriff and my Department has no capacity to intervene.
Requests for the enforcement of such awards should be sent to:
Enforcement Services Section, National Employment Rights Authority (NERA), O'Brien Road, Carlow.
Tel: 0599178990 Lo-call: 1890 80 80 90

287. Deputy Gerald Nash asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation when he intends to advance the establishment orders to provide for the restored joint labour committee system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42274/13]
View answerIt is important to note that the 2011 High Court ruling in the John Grace Fried Chicken case did not strike down the JLCs but rather the legislative provisions surrounding the formulation and making of Employment Regulation Orders. The Committees themselves have continued to exist and remain in existence as currently constituted pending the making of the Establishment Orders required to give effect to the recommendations contained in the Labour Court Report.
The Report owes its genesis to Section 41A of Industrial Relations Act 1946 (inserted by Section 11 of the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2012) which provides that reviews of each JLC be carried out by the Labour Court, as soon as practicable after the commencement of the Act, and at least once every 5 years thereafter.
The Labour Court appointed Ms Janet Hughes to assist with the review of the 10 existing JLCs.
The review assisted the Labour Court’s deliberations as to whether any JLC should be abolished, maintained in its current form, amalgamated with another JLC or its establishment order amended and the Labour Court is required to make recommendations to me to this effect.
The Labour Court submitted its report of the review and recommendations in relation to the 10 existing JLCs to me last April. The report is detailed, comprehensive and complex and required careful examination and consideration.
In publishing the Report and outlining the legal steps necessary for implementation of the Labour Court’s recommendations, I have been particularly mindful of issues arising as a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling in relation to Registered Employment Agreements (the McGowan case).
With the exception of the Agriculture JLC, implementation of the recommendations regarding the scope of the other nine JLCs will be given effect by way of Ministerial Order. As the Agricultural Workers JLC was established under primary legislation (the Industrial Relations Act 1976), an amendment to the Establishment Order requires amending primary legislation. I anticipate that the Establishment Orders necessary to give effect to the recommendations regarding the other nine JLCs will be made over the coming weeks.
At the conclusion of this process there will be eight JLCs remaining – and this will drop to seven when the legislation required to implement the recommendation relating to the Catering JLCs is enacted – leaving slightly over half the number that operated at the beginning of the reform process which I pursued on coming to Office. This latest development sits squarely within the context of the change required to improve Ireland's competitiveness by enhancing wage flexibility while also ensuring protection for vulnerable workers.
288. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of Industrial Development Agency visits here in 2012; the way the figure compares to each of the past five years; the average cost of these visits in 2012 and for each of the past five years; the conversion rate for these visits for each of the past five years; the staff numbers and cost of Industrial Development Agency offices located abroad for 2012 and each of the past five years; the work that has been done with other enterprise development organisations on the island of Ireland to create efficiencies and savings within these foreign offices; the number of IDA visits to each county here for 2012 and each of the past five years and the individual county conversion rates for those years. [42304/13]
View answer289. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of Enterprise Ireland high potential start ups that occurred here in 2012; the way the figure compares to each of the past five years; the average cost of these start ups for 2012 and for each of the past five years; the attrition rate of each of these high potential start ups for the past five years; the staff numbers and cost of each Enterprise Ireland office located abroad for 2012 and the past five years; and the work that has been done with other enterprise development organisations on the island of Ireland to create efficiencies and savings within these foreign offices. [42306/13]
View answer291. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of Enterprise Ireland HPSU in each county here for 2012 and each of the past five years; the Enterprise Ireland HPSU investment figure for each county in 2012 and for each of the past five years; and the annual employment totals for Enterprise Ireland HPSU companies in each county for 2012 and each of the past five years. [42308/13]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 289 and 291 together.
Table 1 outlines the number of high potential start ups supported by EI between 2008 and 2012 along with the total and average HPSU funding paid and the number that having ceased trading.
Table 2 breaks down the number of high potential start-ups supported by EI between 2008 and 2012 by county. Data relating to annual HPSU investment and employment levels at county level is considered commercially sensitive as it could permit the identification of individual companies. It is therefore not proposed to provide this data at county level.
However, Table 3 provides 2012 Forfás Annual Employment Survey data for HPSUs supported by Enterprise Ireland between 2008 and 2012. It is important to note that employment survey data is not available for all companies and excludes employment by HPSUs which have been acquired or have been subject to merger. Of the 415 HPSUs approved by Enterprise Ireland between 2008 and 2012, 2012 Forfás Employment data is available for 81% (337). These companies employed a total of 3,603 people as of 31 October 2012.
Enterprise Ireland operates a wide geographical network of offices across the globe (currently 30) which is central to serving Irish indigenous industry and delivering on an export led recovery for Ireland. In total EI currently has 148.5 staff in overseas locations (this number includes some vacancies which are currently at the recruitment process stage). In addition sanction for 20 new overseas contract staff in targeted High Growth Markets has recently been approved to increase resources in support of Irish companies’ efforts in these markets. The staff complement includes staff assigned to overseas regions from Ireland with experience of working with Enterprise Ireland’s client base in Ireland and staff recruited locally in international markets with specific expertise and knowledge of the markets into which companies are exporting.
In comparison to other relevant comparator countries, Enterprise Ireland operates a very lean and relatively small scale overseas office network. EI has carefully marshalled its resources to best target and support client opportunities. EI’s overseas offices are reviewed annually as part of the organisation’s operational planning process to ensure that the trade and commercial opportunities for Irish companies are maximised.
EI works very closely with other Government Departments and Agencies with an overseas presence, including in the context of the delivery of the ‘Trading and Investing in a Smart Economy’ strategy, and the work of the Export Trade Council.
Where possible EI is co-located with Embassies, Consulates and other agency footprints, including IDA Ireland and Bord Bia, to minimise the overall cost of Ireland’s overseas network for example, 22 of EI’s 30 locations overseas are co-located. Where EI (in a small number of circumstances) is not co-located with another agency or body, this is primarily due to the location being a key business/commercial centre (rather than being the political centre where embassies are typically located). All EI’s overseas offices collaborate closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade team in Dublin and in relevant overseas Irish Embassies and Consulates. Furthermore, Enterprise Ireland and Invest Northern Ireland following the signing of a memorandum of understanding, can facilitate companies to take part in each others trade missions on a case by case basis.
EI’s overseas network and international team are critical resources which EI is seeking to maintain at current agreed staffing levels to support Irish companies increase sales from Ireland and to sustain and grow jobs in Ireland.

290. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of Enterprise Ireland supported firms in each county here for 2012 and each of the past five years; the Enterprise Ireland investment figure for each county in 2012 and for each of the past five years; and the annual employment totals for Enterprise Ireland supported companies in each county for 2012 and each of the past five years. [42307/13]
View answerEnterprise Ireland’s mission is to partner with entrepreneurs, Irish businesses, and the research and investment communities to develop Ireland’s international trade, innovation, leadership, and competitiveness with the ultimate objective of job creation.
In 2012, total employment in Enterprise Ireland’s client companies increased to 169,451, made up of 145,460 in full time jobs and 23,991 in part-time positions. This positive performance by Irish companies was achieved notwithstanding the continuing economic challenges at home and abroad.
