Every Cloud has a silver lining.
That would be the Silver Iodide precipitants they’re spraying…god knows we need a drop o’ rain..(I sent Her a text).
At first i was laughing when small numbers of jobs were being created, but now it seems like its happening almost every day. We still have an unbelievably long way to go, but it appears to be better than it has been up until now.
Having said that though, a biscuit factory and a car dealership in my industrial estate both shut down this week…so the overall nett increase in jobs nationwide might not be the best..
Wow creamy
You were doing so well in the first paragraph.
I guess you just couldn’t help yourself with the ‘bitter word’ in the 2nd paragraph
I though we had brought you back from the dark side
Yeah, CH, good to see high-tech start-ups…but the emigration is ‘happening every day’…and not a ripple of concern.
Meantime the global program is pro-cyclical austerity to squeeze more ‘productivity’ from fewer workers for profit and sharholder growth, spun as ‘economic’ when it is purely financial. The numerological falsification program hasn’t gone away you know.
Its broke, but only for those too small to matter, so no need to fix it.
Currently reading Maurice Coakley’s just published historical recap ‘Ireland in the World Order’(Pluto Press, 2012).
Very thorough, the man has done the state some service by his labours.
jimjim must have a giga-candlepower Davies Lamp down there in his ostrich sandpit.
Jim, it’s not bitter for the sake of it – I’m just stating facts.
The bitter facts..for many.
jim is obviously well fixed.
This article is missing an important component.
Where’s the mandatory picture of Richard Bruton?
’twill shortly come again upon the cloud…normal service will be resumed after the next heave…do not adjust your attire..the nano-drones are watching.
Good news, but there is always a but :)
Most of Dublin Log Me In jobs require 2 languages English and French / German / Spanish etc.
Great news then for people from these countries or to few Irish who can speak those. Doesnt quite solve the problem for many working class struggling families, but its a good start anyway into the better as would eventually create other linked jobs.
Good to hear job creation, but I’d like to see it in more industries.
Good the way we didn’t learn our lessons from 2003 and now IT is the great hope again. Another bubble.
Not just that, Aidan, the job needs redefinition. With all the 20th century technological amplifications and other productivity pressures the extra profits have all been skimmed to extractive financial cartels.
The working week needs shortening, or the logic of current demographics is a recipe for escalating wars. Unless history is an absolute liar.
Interesting point Damien!
