Just because they don't hit aggressive growth targets doesn't mean they aren't successful. They can still be a success without delivering all the jobs that a politican would like to lead you to believe are certainties at these announcements.
Funding from Enterprise Ireland and the likes is a big help in creating a platform to grow sales / employment numbers but the hard part is going out there and doing it.
I don't know the people behind the company nor much about the company itself but on the face of it, it's a bit harsh slinging mud at them just because they have fallen short of expectations. Politicians shouldn't be jumping on the bandwagon but people should also known that very little is certain with start-ups.
Not slinging mud, just saying it as it is. Not 1 single full time job given to anyone outside of family members, everyone taken in was on jobs bridge and none retained but replaced.
Enda Kenny was invited down and the publicity pushed out through all media.
EI funding is a joke tbh, been involved in 3 startups including my own and all they wanted were gold plated companies and piggy backing on the "who you know"

I won't deny the "who you know" factor but that's a big part of business in Ireland. I've been involved in 3 as well. One went onto create 100+ jobs (and a massive return for EI when it was subsequently sold), one a failure and one currently on target in early stages. I wouldn't call the funding or EI a joke, it's not perfect but a good resource at the same time.
You know a lot more about them than me so fair enough but my look through LinkedIn certainly didn't suggest a family business.0 -
