2016 SAW AN increase in the number of jobs being advertised in Ireland.
In the final quarter of last year, there was an 11% increase in the number of jobs advertised online compared to the same period in 2015.
The figures, published today by IrishJobs.ie, show that all counties experienced an improvement in the number of jobs available, particularly Carlow, Dublin and Limerick.
Here’s how much the number of jobs advertised increased in certain sectors:
The Jobseeker Sentiment Survey, in which the website asked the views of 1,223 people, found that 67% of Irish employees felt very confident about the Irish jobs market.
Trump and Brexit
In terms of international affairs affecting jobs here, 49% of Irish employees said they don’t know what their employer’s Brexit plans are (17% are aware), while 66% of jobseekers said they’re not worried about Donald Trump’s election as US President impacting their current job situation.
Orla Moran, General Manager of IrishJobs.ie, said, despite the challenges of 2016, the figures “show a strong increase in jobs advertised online throughout the year, which has been matched by positive sentiment from jobseekers and optimism for the year ahead”.
We would, however, raise a concern about what appears to be a lack of preparation amongst employers for the UK’s triggering of Article 50 in March to start the Brexit process.
“In our survey Irish workers tell us they are unsure whether their employers have begun Brexit planning. Given that Ireland trades over 40% of its exports with the UK, it’s important Irish companies start to think about the potential implications of Brexit and plan accordingly,” Moran said.

Can I have my money back now
It’s like’…..burning your furniture – to keep warm!
Why are PwC saying this instead of IBRC and NAMA?
As property prices start to rise nama , ibrc start to dump property
Can someone explain why?
Dumping loans philip, not property. They’re Dumping the loans as they’re non-performing and want to get them off the balance sheet.
If they had the patience, they’d put arrangements in place to allow the properties to return to positive equity and then seek a sale, this recouping more of the tax payers money.
Unfortunately, they’ll sell the loans for a discount and allow the new purchasers to do this and net a tidy profit.
The article outlines that IBRC (IBROKE would probably be a better name) will offload € 15 billion in loans.
Yet the linked article tells us that IBROKE have already offloaded 90% of its loanbook, € 19.8 billion out of € 21.7 billion leaving just € 1.9 billion on hand.
This can only mean, if the previous article is correct, that it is NAMA that is offloading the majority of the loans.
Why the subterfuge?
Why make people think that this is some kind of joint enterprise when it is NAMA that is leading the charge?
Have the shiny suit brigade from the canal something to hide?
Given their obsession with secrecy it would not surprise me if they have, perhaps selling the loans to some preferred customer with an inside track at a serious discount.
The way things go it will all be wrapped up before we know anything, plus ça change.
Who in their right mind would buy this junk?
It might only be worth 30% of face value but if you buy it for 20% it’s a good deal. For the buyer anyway.

The Banks?
Hedge funds bought it. They will now sell off all the ghost estates etc at a lower price so people that have houses for sale at the min will eventually have to sell for half or take them off the market.
Fab house here in drogheda asking price €325. Hilarious. You could now nearly get a house for that on raglan road or ailsbury road!! So that house is realistically worth less than €150 really.
People and notions ha
What about Bank of Scotland selling on my mortgage & others in their Irish portfolio to a company called Tanager Ltd.
I’m in a tizzy all day because I don’t know what it means for us.
have your say
