170. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of WTE staff vacancies by job title in IDA Ireland as of 16 January 2023; the estimated full-year cost of filling each of these vacancies; and when each of these vacancies will be filled, in tabular form.

View answerIDA Ireland, the Government’s inward investment promotion and development agency, reported record annual results for 2022 in December last, with a substantial increase in growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) employment on 2021. The numbers directly employed in IDA multinational clients in Ireland reach 301,475, the highest FDI employment level ever and a 9% increase on 2021. IDA client companies recorded 32,426 gross new job gains in 2022, with a 24,019 net jobs increase. IDA won 242 investments in 2022 for Ireland, 103 of which were new name investments. Importantly, 52% or 127 of the 242 investments won went to regional locations, with employment growth in every region of the country.
As Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment I am engaging with IDA on the newly launched White Paper on Enterprise and on this Government’s strategic objectives on decarbonisation, technological change and regional potential. A focus on transformation is more important than ever for companies, foreign-owned and home-grown, to remain competitive. The resilience and longevity of our multinational base in Ireland reflects their ability to constantly transform in response to change. IDA is engaging with my Department and with its clients on RD&I, training, digitisation and sustainability related investments to ensure the FDI base is positioned for continued success in the future.
IDA Ireland had 30 WTE staff vacancies as of 16 January 2023. The table below provides details of the current vacancies and the date these are expected to be filled. Note that IDA Ireland have approximately 360 staff.
