Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 July 2018
309. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the international IDA Ireland offices located abroad; the location of each; the number of full-time and part-time staff employed; and the costs of offices and staffing per international office on an annual basis in tabular form. [32116/18]
View answerIDA Ireland has twenty-one international offices located across the Americas, Asia and Europe. The Agency does not provide the specific cost breakdown of individual offices as these details are sensitive in the context of international competition for foreign direct investment.
The tables below, however, sets out the total numbers of IDA employees in each overseas location and the total costs associated with the offices abroad for 2017.
