Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 403 and 404 together.
IDA 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 over 122,000 people are employed in IDA client companies outside of Dublin. I am working closely with the Agency and across Government to grow those numbers further in 2018.
The following tables provide details of employment by IDA Ireland client companies in each county from 2013 to 2017 and a breakdown of the number of jobs created and lost respectively in each county in 2017:
