The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the enterprise development agencies. Details of total employment and the number of new jobs created and lost in IDA client companies as well as the number of such companies on a county by county basis during 2013 are set out in the attached tabular statement.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is key to Ireland’s economic recovery. IDA Ireland’s end of year results show that 2013 was another record year for investment wins and job creation, with over 7,000 net new jobs being created in the Agency’s client companies. This is the fourth year in a row for jobs growth and there are now over 161,000 people employed in IDA Ireland client companies, the highest ever number recorded in the history of the Agency.
