I propose to take Questions Nos. 307 and 308 together.

Enterprise Ireland is my Department’s main agency for developing Irish business. Enterprise Ireland supports companies in urban and rural areas to start, innovate and remain competitive in international markets, now and into the future. At the centre of the agency’s strategy, Build Scale, Expand Reach 2017 – 2020, are strategic targets focused on:

- Assisting clients to create 60,000 new jobs by 2020 while sustaining the existing record level of jobs;

- Growing the annual exports of client companies by €5bn to €26bn per annum;

- Increasing the level of spend made by client companies in the Irish economy by €4bn to €27bn per annum by 2020; and

- Inspiring more Irish owned companies to have global ambition.

These are ambitious targets, particularly against a backdrop of Brexit and an uncertain global economic climate. Despite these challenges, the 2017 performance demonstrates a very positive first year in the new Strategy.

Enterprise Ireland’s 2017 results reported the highest employment in the history of the agency, the highest net job creation in the history of the agency and also the lowest number of job losses since 1998. In 2017 209,338 people were employed at Enterprise Ireland supported companies which includes the creation of 10,309 net new jobs. In 2017 22,782 people were employed at Enterprise Ireland supported companies. Employment in Enterprise Ireland supported companies by county is presented in Table 1 for the period 2013 - 2017.

Enterprise Ireland helps companies through a range of financial and non-financial supports. Table 2 presents payment to client companies by county for the period 2013 -2017.
