Irish Exports Continue To Grow
Enterprise Ireland reported that Irish exporting companies increased employment by 3,804 in 2012.
In its End of Year Statement published today they revealed the highest net gain for Irish companies since 2006 and was due primarily to the strong export performance of Enterprise Ireland client companies.
Despite a continued challenging economic environment in 2012 Enterprise Ireland supported companies crucially added to their employment base and now support more than 300,000 jobs in the Irish economy (15% of total workforce).
Total direct employment (full and part time) in Enterprise Ireland client companies stood at 172,473 in 20121. Of these, 146,908 are full-time jobs, while 25,565 are part-time jobs. In addition, new job commitments made by Enterprise Ireland clients in 2012 were over 7,000 exceeding the target of 6,250 for the year.
Under the Government’s 'Action Plan for Jobs 2012' Enterprise Ireland was directly involved in 105 of a total of 270 actions. Throughout the year we delivered on these targets in areas such as Potential Exporters, Global Sourcing, Micro Enterprise, Diaspora Initiatives, International Entrepreneurs and Female Entrepreneurship.
Frank Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Ireland said: "We are extremely proud of the companies we work with and their contribution to the Irish State.
"They have proved to be resilient and relentless in their pursuit of new market opportunities and they are to be commended on their success. Enterprise Ireland is determined to continue to support their job creation initiatives and identify and help secure overseas business in established and high growth markets. This will not only assist growth in exporting businesses, but local economies in every county in Ireland."
