Some people would prefer for all to be miserable than the neighbours get a good turn.

In normal countries, they see that a rising tide raises all boats.

The Tanaiste is from Galway . The taoiseach is from the west too. Lots of jobs available from the American chambre of Commerce there for the minister of foreign affairs…. Great news on the jobs front well done to the employees.

REALLY hoping The Journal havent deleted Deco Cotters reply to my comment because Ive just got an email notification of the reply & its only fair that its posted here for all to see what was said.

He’s responsible for every job created, and not responsible for any job lost.

He would have been invited. I recall an article, think it was here, from another company who announced a load of jobs recently and they were just commenting on how nice he was etc. Anyway, any job announcement is to we welcomed regardless of where it is announced. Not everywhere can get big job announcements.

PS Paul. Vote Yes! Its the only way!!

People’s lives are getting back on track but our finance minister overseeing it is a plonker…..

Not sure I follow.

Also your point about the treaty is nonsense. The effects of the treaty are felt after the vote, not during the campaign :P

Great news, there has been considerably good news on the jobs front lately despite continuous threats from the government that investors are waiting to see how we vote in the treaty.
Obviously those threats are nonsense along with the treaty itself which is nothing more than a political stunt to address German voter anxieties.

The treaty makes no economic sense. Economists on the Yes side have said as much. The ‘stability’ details already exist, so why vote again for them? The same details are in the ‘Stability and Growth Pact’ which has done damn all to prevent the banking crisis and the property bubble.

Instead, the ECB is offering ‘unlimited’ loans to banks at cheap interest rates in order to be loaned to sovereign states (taxpayers) at higher interest rates.

The whole thing, if it wasn’t so serious, is ONE BIG JOKE!

David, I was going to set off your alarm clock but then I noticed your profile picture and burst into fits of laughter! I would be clearly wasting my time.. But fair play and well said Stephen!
ahh god help us.

The representatives of these companies, the American chamber of commerce and IBEC, have both called for a yes vote.

200 jobs over 5 years.
200 people leave the country every single day because theres no work. Genius. Inda for King.
You wont find any of the Kinnys out of work.

Ahh whist.

Tell that to the 200 who get the jobs!!!

Yea well, don’t break out the Champers just yet. 200 jobs over FIVE years. Five years is a long time my friend, especially in this climate. When Europe get hold of the ropes and screw with your corporate tax rate and when all the other associated fringe benefits given to corporates to set up shop in the land of make believe dry up, we’ll see then how many jobs are created then.

Soundbites, bullshit and photo opportunities. Why don’t you have a look at the IDA website. It is little more than a charitable institution for corporations. A veritable free for all funded by the taxpayer.

Of course there is always the standardized statement, ” Ireland has a wealth of talent……the graduates are of such a high calibre…..the Irish love the craic….blah blah blah” Whilst that may be true, the real reason corporations set up here is because they get grants up the yazoo to do so. When those grants dry up, when the corporate tax rate is brought into line with the rest of Europe those same companies will head for the hills, and your 200 jobs will go with them.

Of course Eamon tells us Ireland will not compromise on the corporation tax rate. If you believe that you need your head examined.

shall i post it again deco?
