View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 82 to 84, inclusive, together.
I am informed by IDA Ireland that from 2009 to the end of September 2014 there were a total of 2,025 IDA Ireland sponsored site visits by potential investors to various locations across the country. Details of the number of these site visits during this period are set out in the tabular statement (A).
The Forfas Annual Employment Survey reports on the number of jobs created and lost in companies that are supported by the enterprise development agencies. Data is collected on an annualised basis so the latest figures to hand are for 2013. Figures for 2014 will not be available until year end. Details of the total number of IDA Ireland supported full time and part time jobs in each year from 2009 to 2013 on a county by county basis, as well as the number of IDA Ireland client companies in each county in each of the years from 2009 to 2013 inclusive are shown in the attached tabular statement (B).
The Action Plan for Jobs 2014 includes a commitment to develop a framework for a Regional Enterprise Strategy to better integrate the efforts of the enterprise development agencies and other regional stakeholders in supporting enterprises. My intention is that the framework will be developed on a pilot basis initially, focusing on the Midlands region, and involving the agencies under the remit of my own Department – Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and the Local Enterprise Offices. The objective is to enhance synergies between the agencies and their client companies and build on the competitive strengths of the region to maximise the potential for job creation. The role which other public bodies in the region can play in working towards this objective will also be examined as the project develops. The aim is that this framework will serve as a model for other regions of the country.
