Launch of North East / North West Action Plan For Jobs Today

I warmly welcomed the Government announcement on the North East / North West action plan for jobs announced today. 

Since the national plan for jobs was announced in 2012 more than 20,000 extra people are employed In the  North East / North west areas which include Louth Monaghan Cavan Donegal Sligo and Leitrim. The successful implementation of the announcement today is hoped to target 28,000 additional jobs for the region by 2020 - an increase of 10_15% employment growth. 

I am particularly pleased that today's announcement will greatly benefit my own area of Louth and will  include an increase in the number of lDA  investments who will build a range of property solutions including advance facilities in Dundalk with expected completion in 2018 . The IDA and Enterprise Ireland will also work with industry to progress a Digital Payments Cluster along the M1 corridor.

Louth has suffered greatly in the economic downturn but now as we see an improvement in the economy I believe we can build on the strength of being strategically along the M1 corridor, midway between Dublin and Belfast with good access to ports and airports making it very enticing for companies to invest in the area alongside other successful companies who have located here including PayPal, eBay, Vesta,Yapstone and State Street.
