Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (Deputy Richard Bruton)

The figures in respect of jobs created in 2010 and 2011 in Enterprise Development agency-assisted companies, including companies supported by the County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs) are set out in the table accompanying this reply.

The Government's Action Plan for Jobs has set a target of supporting the creation of 100,000 net new jobs over the period 2012 to 2016, with the longer term objective of having 2 million people at work by 2020. I recently announced the progress which has been made in this regard so far this year. Meanwhile, I am already getting suggestions and proposals in relation to preparing the Action Plan for 2013, which I am examining and will bring to Government later this year.
