Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 December 2014
70. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of indigenous jobs lost and created in the manufacturing and services sectors in each of the past five years to date in 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48695/14]
View answerEnterprise Ireland’s mission is to support indigenous industry, working with entrepreneurs, Irish businesses, and the research and investment communities to develop Ireland’s international trade, innovation, and competitiveness. The ultimate objective is increased employment and prosperity in Ireland. Enterprise Ireland works with High Potential Start-ups (HPSUs) with a capability to start a business and sell in export markets, Small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing and internationally traded services, large companies employing 250 or more, and, Irish-based food and natural resource companies that are overseas owned or controlled. Every year my Department, in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland, conducts an Annual Employment survey. The results for the 2014 survey will be available in January 2015.
Table 1 refers to the full time indigenous job losses and gains for the Manufacturing and Services sectors for the last 5 years based on the 2013 Annual Employment Survey of Enterprise Ireland’s clients.
The recently established Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) provide financial support to enterprises in the manufacturing or internationally traded services sector, which over time, can develop into strong export entities and graduate to the Enterprise Ireland portfolio.
Information in relation to the number of jobs created, jobs lost and net jobs by the LEOs – formerly County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs) - for the years 2010-2013 are set out in Table 2. Statistical information for the LEOs/CEBs is collated on an annual basis so details in relation to 2014 are not yet available. Prior to 2010, CEBs reported jobs data on a different basis i.e. only on the number of jobs existing in CEB supported companies and the change in this figure since the previous year.
LEO data is not disaggregated between Manufacturing and Services sectors. The Deputy should note that the figure for the net number of jobs is determined by the sum of the number of net full-time jobs and half of the number of part-time jobs for each year in question.
