The annual results of the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) for 2025 were announced by Minister of State Alan Dillon. The results show LEO supported companies in Louth created 219 jobs, representing a 61 per cent increase on 2024. 

Cllr Seán Kelly, Cathaoirleach of Louth County Council said the increase in job creation is hugely positive for Louth.

"Every new job created supports a family, strengthens a community, and contributes to a more vibrant and sustainable local economy," he said.

David Conway, Chief Executive of Louth County Council said creating sustainable jobs is central to making Louth an attractive place to live and work. 

"These results demonstrate the impact of long‑term investment in local enterprise, and the strength of the entrepreneurs who are driving growth across our county.

Louth has its own unique opportunities, and that’s why targeted supports from the Local Enterprise Office are vital in helping local businesses to grow and to deliver these results," he said. 

Mr Conway encouraged businesses owners in need of help or support to contact their Local Enterprise Office.
