Source: Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment (Ireland), “Employment permits issued to companies”, covering January–August 2026.

Ireland does not publish wages. The DETE file records how many employment permits each company was issued — not what those jobs pay. A permit issued earlier this year is history, not a live vacancy, and it is not a promise that the same employer will sponsor again.
