The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are supported by the Industrial Development agencies. Data is compiled on an annualised basis and is aggregated at county level. Therefore, overall figures for 2010 will not be available until early 2011. Information is provided by companies for statistical purposes only and due to data protection and confidentiality considerations, it is not possible to provide information in respect of individual companies.
According to the survey, a total of 13,784 new jobs were created in IDA supported companies in the two-year period 2008 and 2009. In the same period, Enterprise Ireland client companies created employment of 17,965. In the period from January 2008 to September 2010, IDA Ireland made 135 announcements with the potential to create 12,763 jobs in IDA Ireland supported companies. However, many projects go ahead without public announcement. The comparable number of Enterprise Ireland announcements was 26 with an associated job potential of 2,224.
The tables accompanying this reply outline the individual job announcements made in agency-supported companies in 2008, 2009 and to date in 2010. Projects are generally implemented over a number of years with a time frame that can vary, depending on the specifics of the project.
