I have today welcomed the announcement of 445 new jobs in start-up industries, most of which will be created in Dublin, as a very welcome boost for the City and Country.
Today's announcement of the creation of 445 jobs in Enterprise Ireland supported companies - of which over 200 will be in Dublin - is very welcome news.
These 24 companies are in high growth sectors such as bio-tech, food, life sciences and information technology and they show that Irish companies can be to the fore in capitalising on the potential of these sectors.
I have seen this potential in my own constituency where there is a business incubation centre in Dublin City University that combines research and innovation with business supports for start-ups. These types of initiatives are essential in helping small businesses expand.
We have considerable work to do in rebuilding our economy but an announcement such as today's, is very encouraging and shows how the right focus can reap dividends. As a member of the Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, I look forward to examining further ways of giving supports to businesses - to aid our recovery and tackle unemployment.
