We have 434,700 on the live register.
The only way of getting The Cough to get the finger out is when MOL lets people know what is really going on
200 jobs out of 434,700 is .046%
Maybe more business people should come out and let people know whats going on behind the scenes.
Get this muppet off her backside.
FAS is another massive problem which still has yet to be really investigated and reformed.
If you want one word to explain everything about this crisis. Debt.

Unbeknownst to us today another 238 neighbours & friends lost their jobs
Thank you OP. A world full of spread-betting investors and one year on, no-one wants a piece of Ireland's €500 M venture capital fund; a show-piece of Irish Government optimism! There has to be a national rethink of the ephemeral delusions and the enduring and expensive legacy of the celtic tiger years.
As for 'knowledge economy', that's not an innovative idea from Brian Cowan or even Bertie, or in any way 'stealing a march' on the rest of the world. That's an EU policy statement from around 2001 'to make Europe a knowledge economy'.
They haven't had an idea of how to benefit this country. They would be afraid to try. Their policies are untried nonsense out of the European Commission spare-parts bin. Nonsense that wiser countries avoided.

How can we compete with them ?
Enjoying the craic only takes us so far.
Not sure if has been posted here before but Ronan Lyons has a recent and detailed analysis of unemployment among young men with a break down by county.
For men under 25:
More than half of all jobs for young men have disappeared | Ronan LyonsThese astonishing figures add up to almost 100,000 job losses in a segment of the population that had only 175,000 employed at the peak of the boom. Over 55% of jobs for young men have disappeared. One occasionally hears the argument that, as bad as things are, an increase in unemployment of ten percentage points means that 90% of us are in more or less the same position now as during the boom. What these figures show is that while the rest of the economy has lost perhaps about 10% of its jobs, young men have lost more than half theirs
Yes for jobs? Where are Ireland for Europe thse days.
Mary Coughlan is quoted in today's examiner (sports section, oddly enough)
Coughlan: Young people emigrate ?to enjoy themselves? | Irish Examiner
'The type of [Irish] people who have left...they are coming with degrees,PhDs, they have a different acumen academically and have found work in other parts of the world and that's not a bad thing.'
Oh yes it is. That's called a brain drain. If these young adults , educated by the Irish taxpayer, leave , don't return and spend their most productive years abroad that's an enormous loss.
That loss of talent might the be the reason why the punters avoid Ireland's 'innovation fund'. Doh!
As long as FF survive in Government it is good that these people emigrate as they will not be voting against FF.
CAN WE WAKE UP PLEASE.
