Ceist:240 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will outline the number of jobs created by the IDA in (a) 1989, (b) 1990 and (c) 1991.
Written Answers. - Job Creation Figures.
I understand from the IDA that they supported companies which created 13,948 first time jobs in 1989, 13,744 in 1990 and 12,439 in 1991.
The IDA define a first time job as any gain from the peak employment in a company in the previous five years arising from a specific investment programme agreed with the IDA.
