Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2020
128. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will provide a full sectoral breakdown of new jobs announcements supported by Enterprise Ireland in 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39730/20]
View answerInvestment to support a significant number of jobs was approved by Enterprise Ireland in 2020 across a range of sectors and the full amount of jobs created in Enterprise Ireland supported companies in 2020 will be included in the agency's Annual Business Review, which will be published in 2021.
The list below refers solely to job announcements by Enterprise Ireland supported client companies and this information is listed on the Enterprise Ireland website. It does not include funding for jobs created by Enterprise Ireland client companies where a client company chose not to publicise the announcement or cases where the number of jobs created, while significant to the company, were not at a level to warrant an official public announcement.
Furthermore a significant amount of Enterprise Ireland’s funding was directed towards sustaining employment in COVID-19 impacted companies by helping them stabilise, reset and recover, so as to ensure the companies will emerge from the pandemic crisis and continue to grow and create high-quality jobs throughout Ireland into the future.
