The cost per job supported by Enterprise Ireland for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, is published in Enterprise Ireland's 2010 Annual Report, which is available on its website, and is set out in the table below. The cost per job sustained is calculated by taking into account all Enterprise Ireland expenditure on all firms in the period. Only jobs created during, and sustained at the end of, each seven year period are credited in the calculations.

I am informed that information relating to 2011 will be included in the Agency's 2011 Annual Report which will be published later this year.

Figures in respect of the number of jobs created or lost in firms assisted by Enterprise Ireland are compiled annually in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey. As the information is compiled on an annualised basis, the figures in respect of 2011 will not be available until later in 2012. Details of the number of jobs created Enterprise Ireland assisted companies for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, are set out in the Table at Appendix 2.

*In 2010 the CEB database was updated to provide more detailed figures; this figure represents 4,433 full time job gains plus 2,936 other job gains, offset by losses of 4,961 full-time jobs and 2,294 other jobs, rather than a count of the increase/decrease jobs existing figure from the previous year.

Figures in respect of 2011 are currently being collated and should be available within the first quarter of 2012.
