20 Additional Staff Announced For Enterprise Ireland
The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton TD has secured an increase of over 14% in the number of Enterprise Ireland staff in overseas offices in a move aimed at increasing exports by Irish companies to high-growth emerging markets and ultimately creating jobs in Ireland.
20 additional staff will be recruited locally on fixed term contracts and will be assigned to offices in key target markets including in particular the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). Enterprise Ireland analysis concludes that recruitment of these staff can directly support the creation of 1200 additional jobs in Ireland and €250million in additional annual exports.
Minister Bruton sought the increase as part of the Action Plan for Jobs and its focus on building a powerful engine of Irish exporting businesses.
As well as the BRICS countries, the new resources will also be allocated to countries in Asia and the Middle East.
Making the announcement, Minister Bruton said: "At the very heart of our Action Plan for Jobs is building a powerful engine of Irish business. While the multinational sector is and will remain key to our employment growth, we must also relentlessly focus on accelerating export and jobs growth among Irish exporting companies. These businesses have delivered impressive growth in jobs and exports over the past two years, with more than 3,000 jobs added in 2012 – however if we are to create the jobs we need we must build on and accelerate that trend.
"That is why we are adding over 14% to the number of Enterprise Ireland staff in overseas market, in a move targeted particularly at the BRICS countries as well as other high-growth markets outside Europe. This is part of a strategy to target export growth to these markets which has included tax incentives for companies to place 'boots on the ground' in these markets as well as improvements to Government supports to these companies."
