IDA-backed multinationals created 1,350 net new jobs in Ireland in 2010

The Irish Times reports that IDA-backed multinationals created 1,350 net new jobs in Ireland in 2010. The IDA’s interim statement for 2010 shows that multinationals supported by the government agency created 10,897 new jobs last year. Chief Executive Barry O’Leary said that about 9,545 jobs were lost in multinationals last year. He said some of the job losses were the result of closures announced in 2009, including that of PC maker Dell. The IDA said it hopes to bring in projects that will lead to the creation of 10,000 new jobs in 2011. It also hopes to bring in investments that will create 62,000 new jobs by 2014.
