Job announcement for Waterford

lassykk

I wish people would keep their pathetic political opinions to themselves in threads like this.

Go here if you wanna spout crap about FG / FF / SF

Who gives a fcuk whether the government helped or hindered in getting these jobs to the South East region and be grateful that we are finally getting a jobs boost instead of a jobs cut

It's a positive news story for a change and worthy of a thread of its own

wasnt q1 scientific and glanbia announced months ago. great to see a start up like Q1 doing well locally but is this same jobs being announced twice. 1600 jobs in glanbia is positive alright but lets be serious, its really 76 jobs and 450 during construction. To say over 1000 indirect jobs will be created is plain lies.

Good to hear something positive happening.

LOL

Up to 2,000 jobs, many indirectly, could be created by a dairy production facility which could boost the economy in the South-East by hundreds of millions of euro annually.

A total of 76 jobs will be available at the Glanbia plant with hundreds more created on farms and other indirect enterprises.

Thats a ratio of 26:1 I.E for every 1 job in the plant 26 jobs will be creating in farming etc.


Why isnt the same formula used for all jobs announced for all regions. so instead of the 100 or 200 jobs per week announced for Galway it should be between 2,600 and 5,200 instead :eek:

Spin, Spin, Spin - all the general public will hear is that Waterford got 2,000 Jobs, when in fact it is 76:mad:

TV3 Picked up on this this morning and the fact the Govt had already made this jobs announcement months previously.

TV3 put the re-anouncement /spin down to FG's earlier promise to create 100k jobs over the lifetime of the current gov, and so far they are way behind with only 12.5k jobs created hence the reason they are re-hashing over old news and adding in the possible indirect jobs into their equations to try get them up to their 100k figure

I'm not moaning, I'm grateful of the 76 Jobs

However, To be treated like fools by any Government, let alone this one - we'll it's downright dishonest, especially when we were told about transparent government and how they were going to have "no-spin"

Hell, if they are using that ratio, I say let 10% of the unemployed (40,000)have Public Sector Jobs and we'll then have Zero unemployemt 'cause they (Govt) will have created just over 1M jobs indirectly - Happy Days

AdMMM

I genuinely think that the Government believe that if they keep recycling old job announcements and telling us that Waterford is improving then we'll actually start to believe it.

Don't get me wrong, 70 new jobs is good news and is to be welcomed. However, when it's wrapped up in a dangerous mix of lies and speculation, we have every right to pull the Government up on it!

Hopefully some High End IT Jobs

It looks like 100 high end jobs in Feed Henry in Carriaganore according to media reports on twitter.

A quick look on their website shows they are junior and senior mobile/software engineering positions.

Great news, well done to all concerned

Company born in Waterford IT and in operating Waterford, brilliant work lads/ladies to all there. More of this would be great, i think the value of WIT and especially its research incubator place where this started (along with others) is incredibly important. If 50 of these companies are created and 10 become successful employers I reckon there would be a good chance that a couple of them could become big successes and drivers for the region.
Make no mistake, Communications IT, science, pharma and some engineering is the future, thats where we need to be, producing those top quality graduates and starting companies.
