IDA job efforts fail some counties

The IDA emphasised yesterday that you could not force a company to go to a particular part of the country unless it makes sense for their business.

The agency made the comment in response to new figures showing that a number of counties are being left behind in the IDA’s record-breaking efforts to bring Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Ireland.

Last year, in the best ever year for the agency, IDA client companies created 7,071 net jobs with 4,485 or 63% of the jobs created in Dublin.
