Details of IDA Ireland’s investment announcements for the past 5 years are available on the Agency’s website at www.idaireland.com. The listing includes, where appropriate, the number of potential jobs announced by the individual company. The Forfás Annual Employment Survey reports on job gains and losses in companies that are clients of the industrial development agencies. Information is aggregated at county level. Information on job numbers is provided by companies on a confidential basis for statistical purposes only. Jobs announced are typically created over a period of between three to five years depending on the company’s business plan.
