That's according to figures released by the Department of Enterprise and Employment in response to a parliamentary question by Deputy Malcolm Byrne.

Just over 1 per cent (1.17%)of these were in Kerry.
The IDA stated that site visits are only one measure of a company’s interest in a particular location and "may not necessarily be a true measure of the overall level of foreign direct investment (FDI) activity in a ... county".
