eBay jobs in Dundalk

Summary

Senators welcome 450 new eBay jobs in Dundalk, bringing regional job creation under the Government to about 1,750 positions.

Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. I too have a good news story. We hear too many bad news stories. I believe it would be remiss of me not to welcome the announcement on Thursday last of a further 450 jobs in eBay in Dundalk. Today, a Member said this Government was not active. This announcement brings the total number of jobs created in Dundalk in the past 18 months, since this Government came into office, to 1,750.

I wish to welcome them.

We are doing something right in the north east. I congratulate the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Richard Bruton and the IDA. We have a talented workforce in County Louth and the north east. It is great news for the north east and Dundalk in particular.
