That will do the local politicians, they'll be able to use this jobs announcement now until next year, meanwhile the three other major cities have job announcements every month or so.

It's less than 40km from the city, I'm sure there are plenty of people who will gladly travel that distance every day if it means a steady income.

I assume it's this:

The first action in the plan to expand operations at Foynes port will begin in 2015, with an extension of the east jetty. The project will create 150 temporary construction jobs.

However the SFPC acknowledge in the plan that if Foynes is to become the port of first entry for commercial shipping in Ireland, it will require a major upgrade of the local infrastructure network. The master plan predicts that there will be an extra 1,370 truck journeys in and out of the port per day by 2041.

Ahhh when I heard this earlier today I thought it was an announcement of definite jobs.

Turns out it is an announcement of jobs that might be created in 2015 if all goes well.

After the 1,000 paypal jobs that were announced as a huge job boost for Limerick and the 400 Irish Water jobs that were also announced as a huge job boost, I think I will not be taking much stock in this latest big boost announcement until actual jobs are created and in place by 2015.

The plant is to be Operational BY 2015. How do you think it's going to get to that phase? A magic wand?

The plant will employ approximately 100 people when fully operational, with 42 additional people in sales, distribution and plant maintenance.

It is estimated that 150 people will be employed in the construction of the facility, which the company hopes to have operational by 2015.

Speaking in Foynes this morning, Tim Minett, CEO of CPL Industries, said the impending ban of smoky coal was a major factor behind the decision.

This looks promising though:

Which is why the last line of the post you quoted said

So yes I did notice the article said BY 2015, which is why I said BY 2015 in my closing line.:p


Also I will reserve my right to be sceptical about any supposed huge job boost for Limerick given the amount of announcements of massive job boosts that came to nothing save for a nice headline at the time. So it will be fantastic if the jobs actually come about, but until they do I will treat the article like all the other articles about massive job boosts and massive redevelopments for Limerick.
