Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 February 2014
263. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of State supported jobs assisted by IDA Ireland that have been created by county from 2000 to 2013, inclusive, showing the number created per year and a breakdown of the cost of these by county per year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6504/14]
View answerThe Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on the number of jobs gained and lost in the enterprise development agencies. The survey is conducted on an annual basis and aggregated at county level. I am informed by IDA Ireland that these figures are only available for the 10 year series 2004 to 2013. I am also informed that the 10 year series can change on a year by year basis reflecting the movement in the IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland portfolio of companies. Details of the number of new jobs created, on a county by county basis, in IDA Ireland supported companies in each of the 10 years from 2004 to 2013 is set out in the attached tabular statement A.
The cost per job sustained (CPJS) is the measure used by IDA Ireland to assess the cost effectiveness of various IDA Ireland grant programmes. It is not broken down on a county by county basis. The figure is calculated by taking into account all IDA Ireland expenditure to all firms in the period of calculation. Only jobs created during and sustained to the end of each seven-year period are credited in the calculations.
The latest figures for the cost per jobs sustained are contained in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey 2012 and are set out in the following tabular statement B. The cost per job sustained reduced in the period 2002-2008 arising from the strong employment performance of the FDI sector over the period. The slight increase in the CPJ over the period 2009-2010 primarily related to the reduced performance of the FDI sector particularly in 2009 where the economy experienced a significant number of job losses. This was heavily influenced by the global economic and financial environment. I am glad to be able to point out to the Deputy that this figure has begun to fall again due to improved economic performance in the FDI sector. The figure for each seven-year period is calculated by dividing the total number of jobs created by the total amount of money spent.
