And install you I suppose, Christ there's a reason to buy a shotgun and beans.

bob, the country is indeed in chassis when its up to the middle aged and recovering sick to keep the flag flying.

Hope there's a few people left in the country in a month or two who want a job.

Because jobs there will be.

Today none, in the past ? quite a few.

How many people have I found jobs for in the last year ? 27 definite's



In my case I had to give up my business when I was diagnosed with cancer after feeling progressively sicker over the previous 2 years..

Its hard to run a business from a hospital bed, but I was busy all the same.

I received no social welfare, surviving cancer is an expensive business so savings dont last long.

But I will be employing myself at least, later this year, when the doctor gives the OK.

After that who knows.

Good luck with that.

I hope it works out

Of course there are challenges, there is always a few who want you to fail, a NIMBY here, a competitor there.

And of course....

Fantasy Bob and Pals, or perhaps you are Bob?

Both of you are amazing global Irish entrepreneurs, you both know each other and yet both of you are ill, strange that.

This must be P.ies version of Dragons Den.

What job would I like? Chief Executioner of all the government hacks.

But then there is a lot of opportunity if you open the eyes.

A deal to import pears from north-western China was sealed Monday for one Irish company that distributes fruit and vegetables to Ireland and other European markets.
"The growth potential (in China) is huge," said Caroline Keeling, Managing Director at the company, Keelings. "(And) I think the Irish have a skill of getting on with other cultures."

The head of Irish mobile technology firm ezetop, which recently signed a deal with China Unicom, added that Ireland's low corporation tax rate environment as well as the availability of skills helped Ireland secure the prominent visit.

"They are hungry for technologies, things are changing so fast. Ireland is such a small country but we have lot of small and medium businesses with great technologies," said Jo Cheng, head of analytics at Dublin-based Idiro Technologies, which she noted, had been approached by two Chinese companies in recent months for the first time

But you have to look a bit harder for the small stuff thats happening all the time.

Sorry was reading an article someone posted about how all the social networking computer companies all wanted to be sited together on Dublin in the south quay when I thought of the amusing nickname idea. Then I had to leave to play a poker game in which I won lunch money for the week. When I returned I continued with the amusing idea without checking where I was posting it.

This cheerleading, euphoria, good news and general upbeat waffling reminds me of the Celtic Tiger - building boom - economy the envy of Europe days! Having said that I do admit that even one job created is good but even one job lost is bad. It's a question of balance. Swinging pendulum - after the euphoria comes despair. Both are bad so let's look for something in the middle.

We can do it, whatever "it" is. What we really mean is that we hope that "it" can be done for us by multinationals.

Maidin brea agaimh!

I cant help thinking its fluff. Its great news but in the whole scheme of things it is fairly modest.
Some big labour intensive projects are required.

The article also predicted a commercial property boom in Dublin. It said while offices were vacant, there was a shortage of office space that would be suitable to multinational companies.

Building the office space they require would take a lot of builders off the dole.


PS
Before someone jumps in and says unsustainable property boom, have we learned nothing, bla bla bla; ask yourself if you would prefer to continue to pay the dole to the builders or have them work for 2 years.
