Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2018
316. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the number of IDA supported jobs here; the number of jobs created and lost, respectively, in 2017, by county; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7498/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraIDA Ireland’s performance in 2017 resulted in the third consecutive year of strong growth under the Agency's current Strategy. By the end of last year, total employment in the Agency's client companies stood at 210,443, of which 122,000 are employed at firms located outside of Dublin. I look forward to working closely with the Agency and across Government to grow those numbers further in 2018.
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of employment by IDA Ireland client companies in each county for 2017.
