View answerFrom 2018 to 2022 Enterprise Ireland (EI) made direct payments of €777,540,964 to its client companies. In total 31.6% of these payments were made to companies based in Dublin, with 68.4% made to companies outside the Dublin region.
Over the same period there were over 90,000 jobs created by EI client companies despite the recent very challenging years faced by Irish businesses at home and globally.
At year end 2022, there were 218,178 people employed in EI client companies, following a strong year, with the creation of 19,660 new jobs and growth in net employment of 5%. This compares favourably with the latest CSO Labour Force Survey for 2022 which showed an increase of 3.4% in total employment across the economy.
The table below illustrates the figures in relation to EI investment and job creation per county for the years 2018 - 2022.
