They’re not being passed over. The IDA does actually try hard to get companies to invest in both locations but, ultimately, it’s up to a company where they decide to locate/ invest/ create employment.

Ida would have been able to work harder for Waterford if they didn’t pull their office operations from the city to cork a decade ago. Corks gain was waterfords loss, plain to see the effects of it

You obliviously have a job and don’t live in Limerick…
Small enough place so it could help make a real difference down there, an I now some people will call it propaganda but I believe good news on the jobs front is good for us all to hear, gives us hope like

Well i actually Dont. Like i said great for the people who get them but so many others are unemployed and it just seems like a drop in the ocean. There is a greater proportion of media emphasis on the few jobs created than on the many many unemployed and high rate of emigration. Maybe I have it all wrong but those announcements really dishearten me.

So you only want the media to announce when one company comes in to announce 400,000 jobs in the next week?

You’re comments are horrendously pessimistic … I agree 60 jobs isn’t a recovery but as someone said above its better than 60 jobs lost or a decision to chose another country over Ireland

These jobs might not get u excited but it might be the hope and lifeline others need and will get

62 is only the number of DIRECT jobs. The income into the pockets of 62 people is then spent in Limerick economy which helps maintain employment in shops, restaurants etc and may even create the demand for new jobs.

Considering these jobs are probably well paid, you’re also talking about a strong tax intake also.

Well maybe Im a pessimist then hard not to be in these times. but where does this reporting end, does it have to be in the news everytime a job is created. Like Ive said great for the people who get the jobs it really is but what about all the others on and joining the dole queue and having to leave the country. We aren’t constantly being told those figures. Its like something from animal farm.

Looks like a FG love in on this site, 60 jobs and the red arrows come out

The live register is produced every month and the QHS is every quarter.
Do you want a daily update or something?

All they’ll have to do now is find somebody with education and skills in the official biggest dump in Europe.

There are plenty of people here with education and skills. And manners for that matter.
And after spending the today strolling around by the river and having an excellent lunch with my mother and daughter before walking around the city, wholeheartedly disagree with your comment that it’s a dump.

Limerick looked beautiful today. Even more beautiful than usual.

Even if its only one job being announced its better than one more added to the live register…
Green shoots people…

You would love to see the actual number, and what about how many people have left Limerick through emigration, you’ll ne’er hear these figures. We’ve turned that many corners now were back where we started
