Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 December 2017
280. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the details of each international IDA office abroad; the location of each; the number of full-time and part-time staff employed in each; and the costs of offices and staffing for each international office on an annual basis, in tabular form. [53662/17]
View answerAt present, IDA Ireland has 21 overseas offices located across the Americas, Asia and Europe.
The Agency does not publicly release the specific cost breakdown of individual offices, as these details are sensitive in the context of international competition for foreign direct investment. The Agency can, however, provide the total costs associated with the network of offices abroad for 2016 which are outlined below:
Staff Costs - €10,802,000
Non Staff Costs - €5,174,000
The table sets out the location of the Agency's offices abroad and the number of IDA employees employed at each:
