The role it plays in sustaining employment in Ireland is well-documented: approximately one out of every five private sector jobs here directly or indirectly results from FDI. Last year saw the highest ever level of employment in IDA Ireland client companies, with 199,877 people now employed in companies supported by the Agency.
