“If you are not on the above payments or are in receipt of Blind Pension or Widows Pension you are ineligible to participate in JobBridge..”

If you’re not working currently and have a family and a mortgage or whatever the pay rates don’t come anywhere near social welfare benefits.
There’s zero incentive really to take these positions. Why do they need to be filled anyway? Pay cuts coming to save the exchequer a few bob and now they’re hiring…

At the core of the Government’s strategy is the creation of jobs for our people. While the unemployment problem has stabilised, I acknowledge that far too many people cannot find work, or have had to leave the country to get a job. Our aim is to make Ireland, by 2016, the best small country in the world in which to do business and to create jobs.

Employment figures published yesterday give the strongest indication in half a decade that economic recovery has begun. For the first time since the recession started in 2008, the numbers at work have risen over a six month period. In the final quarter of the year, 1.85 million people were in jobs, a rise of 6,500 on three months earlier according to seasonally adjusted figures from the Central Statistics Office.
Revisions to the third quarter data show that employment growth was also recorded in that period. Those revisions put the net increase in employment in the third quarter at 2,200.
Oh, wait now….
By region, Dublin and the south-west accounted for almost all of the Irish economy’s expansion in employment in the second half of last year.
That most of the increase in employment was accounted for by part-time rather than full-time jobs took some of the shine off yesterday’s numbers.
