Minister Bruton speaking at a recent Action Plan for Jobs event
Jobs Minister Richard Bruton 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.
