New food sector jobs open up in Ireland
In response to heavy criticism over unemployment figures in recent months, the Irish Republic's government have been quick to announce the creation of over 300 new food jobs within the Irish food and drink industry.
The new jobs will be opened up as part of the following new developments:
• A €12 million expansion from fast-food conglomerates McDonald's, who plan to open a total of four new restaurants in Ireland; three in Dublin and one outside of the nation's capital. The firm have said they expect to be able to offer around 250 new positions to Irish food job hunters.
• The opening of a new headquarters for Australian firm Probiotec, who specialise in making healthcare products on sale throughout Europe. The new European base will require 70 new employees in order to produce their Celebrity Slim weight loss products to full capacity.
The announcement of these new food jobs may prove to be a saving grace for the Republic government, whose reputation is on shaky ground due to consistently high unemployment figures after the global economic crisis.
Despite this, the Republic of Ireland's food and drink sector still contributes €8 billion to the economy and has around 46,000 people employed in food jobs.
