IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland are the only economic development agencies for which I have responsibility who have offices outside of the island of Ireland.
The tabular statements below set out the location of those offices together with the number of staff employed in each office.
The total costs associated with the running of both IDA Ireland's and Enterprise Ireland's overseas offices in 2011 was €29.559 million, of which €19.043 million related to Enterprise Ireland and €10.516 million related to IDA Ireland. This figure includes the salaries and other costs of staff who directly engage with client companies with the aim of winning and embedding foreign direct investment in this country in the case of IDA, and, in the case of EI, supporting and incentivising companies to invest more, employ more and know more in the context of winning export sales:
