Written answers

IDA Ireland collates its employment data on an annual basis by region and county only. The Agency therefore does not have readily available specific information on foreign direct investment supported jobs in the Shannon Free Zone.

The following table, however, sets out the total jobs, gross job gains and the gross job losses for Co. Clare - where the Shannon Free Zone is located - for the period from 2014-2016. At the end of 2016 there were 71 IDA Ireland client companies in the county, up from 68 in 2014.
