Jobs boost for Irish Midlands

RTE News announced on Friday that the Ericsson group is taking on 100 software engineers at its plant in Athlone. At the same time, a mobile software firm on the west side of the town has reported that it is about to recruit 40 new programmers. Great news on the recruitment front, and this increase in staffing levels at the Ericsson group demonstrates how to company has turned itself around, given that just two years ago it laid off 300 people in Ireland.

'The addition of 100 highly skilled jobs to the Midlands gateway is very welcome news by a leading technology company such as Ericsson and this emphasises the quality of the skilled workforce available and the pro-business environment here,' commented IDA Ireland's chief executive Barry O'Leary.

On a separate note, 50 people are being employed in a motorway service area, Junction 14 Mayfield, which is opening on the M7 in Co Kildare today. The development at Monasterevin cost €7m. Things are looking up!
