Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 June 2012
76 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the total number of posts created by way of various employment initiatives on a monthly basis over the past 18 months; the extent of the permanency of such positions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27680/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe figures in respect of jobs in Enterprise Development agency-supported companies and those supported by the County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs) are compiled in the Forfás Annual Employment Survey and the CEB Annual Employment Survey respectively on an annualised basis. The figures in respect of jobs created in Enterprise Development agency-supported companies and those in companies assisted by the CEBs are set out in Table 1 accompanying this reply. As there are no figures available in respect of jobs created in CEB-supported companies prior to 2011, details of jobs existing in those companies in 2010 are set out in Table 2. The figures in both tables represent permanent full time equivalent positions.
The jobs created with agency and CEB assistance contribute greatly to the development of local economies throughout the country and, in addition, the agencies and CEBs work closely with their clients both in the early start-up stages of businesses and also to ensure the sustainability of those businesses through on-going support, advice and mentoring.
