Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment

33,000 new jobs were created in FDI companies in 2022, bringing the total number of people employed in the FDI sector in Ireland to over 300,000, which represents the highest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) employment level ever. The results illustrate the continued substantial growth in FDI in 2022 despite a difficult global economic environment.

Growth in regions also continued with employment growth recorded in every region of the country. Strongest regional performance among IDA clients in 2022 was in the Mid-East region (net change 13.6%), followed by Dublin (10.8%) and the Midlands (9.7%).

The strong growth in regional investment was supported by IDA Ireland’s property programme. We know a robust property and infrastructure ecosystem to be a key differentiator in winning FDI projects.

The 2022 figures continue the pattern of sustained, robust growth in FDI investment and FDI-related employment that has been achieved over a continuous period of more than ten-years. However, at the announcement of the mid-year results in July, IDA pointed to serious global challenges and uncertainties. It is now evident that the global economy faces serious headwinds in 2023 with the outlook dependent on the Russia-Ukraine war, inflation, monetary policy and geo-political developments.

IDA's employment data is produced on an annual basis and therefore it is not possible to provide the data sought from 27th June 2020.

The table below details the number of new IDA jobs created by county for 2020, 2021 and 2022.
