Thousands Of Jobs Created In Cork Over Three Years
Fine Gael TD for Cork North West, Áine Collins, has said that recent Enterprise Ireland employment figures show that Cork is going from strength to strength with thousands of extra jobs created over the last three years.
She said: "Cork saw 4,655 new Enterprise Ireland jobs created during the first three years of this Government’s term in office. There are now 30% more people in Enterprise Ireland supported employment in Cork than there were in 2010. This figures just describes the jobs supported by Enterprise Ireland. Many more jobs were created across Cork last year.
"The jobs figures are not just meaningless statistics. It's people coming off the Live Register, or coming home from abroad where they have spent the years of the economic crash. It is about reuniting families and giving people the dignity and independence that work affords them.
"Crucially this is also about reinvigorating communities. The knock on effect of these jobs is really positive for family businesses and new start-ups. For every Enterprise Ireland job created, one extra job is supported elsewhere in the economy. So in the case of Cork, 4,655 direct jobs actually means 9,310 jobs when you include the indirect employment created. This is not just about jobs for Cork city. It is about the whole region. These are jobs for Charleville, Millstreet, Macroom, Kanturk, Ballincollig and have a huge impact on the wider rural economy."
