The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the enterprise development agencies. Details on a county by county basis of:
(i) total employment in IDA Ireland client companies,
(ii) the number of new jobs created in IDA Ireland client companies,
(iii) the number of such companies,
(iv) and the number of IDA sponsored site visits by potential investors during 2013 are set out in the following tabular statement.
In relation to the number of site visits, I am informed by IDA that site visits are tracked on a county basis only and it is not possible to provide a breakdown between Tipperary North and Tipperary South.
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.
Table shows total employment, number of new jobs created, number of site visits as well as the number of companies on a county by county basis in IDA client companies in 2013
