Major boost as 160 new jobs confirmed

A literary voyage across the globe at Lismore

Eurofins to employ 500 at Dungarvan base WATERFORD Chamber of Commerce chief executive Nick Donnelly has said the announcement of 160 new jobs this week is a strong signal of “confidence” in the city. Mr Donnelly (below) was speaking after bioanalytical firm Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories confirmed plans to increase its workforce to 500 over the next five years at its Dungarvan base. Mr Donnelly told the Waterford Mail: “It’s wonderful news, and it is the latest in a number of similar

important job annoucenments over the years. That just didn’t happen overnight and it suggests there is a confidence about Waterford, that there is a sense that things are improving. Not only is Ireland seen as a place to do business, Waterford is also seen as a very good place to do business. “ Eurofins currently serves 18 of the world’s top 20 pharmaceutical companies. Annoucing the news this week, Jobs Minister Mary Mitchell O’Connor said the new employment will benefit the entire south-east region. “It’s great to see an established successful company like Eurofins expanding its operations further in Waterford,” the minister said. “Companies setting up and creating

jobs in our regions ensures that there are opportunities for positive knockon effects in the surrounding areas.” Eurofins is expanding its existing 2,700 sq m laboratory by 4,400 sq m as well as developing a second 1,800 sq m site on the campus in the IDA Business Park in Dungarvan. Eurofins Lancaster chairman Timothy Oostdyk said the expansion is a result of successfully securing strategic partnerships with clients in target markets. ”It reinforces Eurofins’ absolute commitment to aggressively funding growth to enhance the way we serve our customers as well as build the best and widest-reaching testing network in the biopharmaceutical market,” he said.

SET against the backdrop of the historical beauty of Lismore Castle, festival goers will be taken on a literal voyage across the globe this weekend at the Immrama Festival of Travel Writing. This year’s festival has a theme of War and Peace and has keynote speakers such as Kim Phuc, best known as the nine-year-old in the

Pulitzer Prize-winning photo during the Vietnam War in 1972 and BBC foreign correspondent Fergal Keane OBE. Opening this evening is an Italian Film and Wine evening, with a racing theme when Italian film Palio will be screened at Lismore Heritage Centre accompanied by some tastes from Italian vineyards. Tomorrow journal-

ist Peter Murtagh will take about his travels on Camino de Santiago, the Portuguese Camino and the Camino Primitivo. On Saturday morning historian Donald Brady will host a talk and a lunchtime reading will follow this with author Paul Clements. Kim Phuc will take to the stage at 3pm followed by an evening with Fergal Keane at

8pm. Getting the show on the road on Sunday morning 19 June, best-selling author and award winning historical consultant Turtle Bunbury will host the festival’s Literary Breakfast at Lismore House Hotel at 8.30am. *Full details of the schedule and tickets can be found at www.lismoreimmrama.com or call 003535853803.

New funding plan needed for airport to survive

ALL QUIET: No ights in or out of Waterford Airport as talks to ďŹ nd another carrier intensify

WATERFORD Airport is facing a race against time to find a new carrier as attempts to pursuade another operator to move to the city intensify. There is currently between 20 and 25 people employed at the airport at any one time. But with no flights in or out of Waterford at the moment, these jobs are under threat unless another carrier can be found to replace troubled VLM, which recently announced it was pulling the London Luton route. Talks between the airport and other carriers are continuing this week, but so far there has been no sign of a breakthrough. When asked how long the airport could hold out, Waterford Chamber of Commerce chief executive Nick Donnelly told the Waterford Mail: “You can be in no doubt that the urgency of this is not lost on anyone. You have a cohort of people working at the airport ... it’s very difficult to sustain that.� Mr Donnelly called for a

new funding model to be applied for Waterford, and all of our regional airports, which he said will find it very difficult to operate on a profitable basis in the future. The Chamber CEO called for a united approach from county councils across the South East to find a new “funding mechanism� for our regional airport. He pointed to the example of Knock Airport, which is trying to secure a mixture of public and private funding to ensure its survival. Mr Donnelly added: “The funding cannot just come in one unique way, it’s got to come from private, it’s got to come from government, and it’s obviously got to come from the operator, the carrier itself.� Airport management are currently scrambling to find a replacement carrier for the airport, where Ryanair launched its first ever flight in 1985. Local TD and Minister of State John Halligan who lent his support to the Government in return for a

pledge of millions of euro in funding for the planned runway extension at Airport - has insisted the deal is not in jeopardy. Speaking to the Irish Independent, Mr Halligan who once sat on the airport board - said he is confident that another airline can be lured to Waterford, despite all previous carriers serving the airport having cancelled their routes. The newly-appointed Transport Minister Shane Ross is due to visit Waterford Airport next week to assess the viability of the runway extension plan. Mr Halligan said the total cost of the extension is likely to be between â‚Ź20m and â‚Ź25m. But Hamish Davidson, the chief executive of VLM, said he does not believe there is sufficient demand in the area for services that would warrant larger aircraft. “Waterford is close enough to Dublin and Cork, so the catchment area will always be sort of limited,â€? he said.

Joust as it was - medievil knights wow crowds at the Waterford Country Fair DESPITE a shower or two, nothing could dampen the spirits of the thousands of visitors to the Waterford Country Fair last Sunday. Jousters, showjumping, pony club games, sheep dog trials, falconry, side saddle competitions, dog agility competitions and dressage all featured at the second ‘County Life, Country Living’ showcase at the historic

Curraghmore House and Gardens in Portlaw last Sunday. Scotland’s jousting team, Les Amis d’Onno, brought their ‘Knights of the North’ spectacular to the fair, providing plenty of thrills and spills for the crowd. Jo Breheny, Chair of Waterford Country Fair, said she was “delighted� with the day.

“The equestrian events, as ever, proved hugely popular, but the new additions such as the jousting, living medieval village, Cossacks were a great draw.

â‚Ź1k a kilometre to clean up road litter blackspot Huge clean up took council workers nine days to complete

WATERFORD City and County Council spent â‚Ź1,000 a kilometre cleaning up a stretch of road close to the scenic Comergah Mountains that has become a dumping ground for litter louts. Waterford Cllr Liam Brazil (right) has pleaded with the public to “act responsiblyâ€? and not litter after a local authority spent â‚Ź18,000 clearing an 18km stretch of road. Cllr Brazil said the cost to the council was “outrageousâ€? and that he wanted all litter RŕľľHQGHUV SURVHFXWHG The clean-up on the R680, between Kilmeaden and Carrick-on-Suir, took workers nine days. Last year, the council spent â‚Ź10,000 cleaning the same route. The operation accounted for 25pc of the council’s entire 2016 roads budget, district engineer, Eamon Lonergan, told the council’s Comeragh District Committee. Mr Lonergan said that while the R680 clean-up involved ÂłDQ DEVROXWHO\ KRUULÂżF DPRXQW

heads the Comeragh municipal committee, backed a call from Cllr Michael J O’Ryan for a OHY\ RQ SODVWLF FRŕľľHH FXSV given their increasing presence among litter. Waterford Council’s director of services for the environment, Fergus Galvin, acknowledged that, by comparison to the recent heavy outlay, clean-ups undertaken in tandem with voluntary groups generally cost about â‚Ź500, for purchasing materials and disposing of rubbish. Nonetheless, Mr Gavin said the local authority spends “millionsâ€? annually on streetsweeping, litter-picking, collecting, and disposing of illegally dumped rubbish.

Dumping ‘rampant’ ILLEGAL dumping and littering is now rampant throughout the city and country, a local councillor has claimed. Waterford City and Count Cllr Eddie Mulligan yesterday hit out at what he describes as a culture where it is acceptable to dispose of rubbish, not only illegally but publicly. The Fianna Fail politician said the authorities are not

doing enough to police the growing problem in the city and county. Waterford City and County currently employs four litter warden to keep our county clean. However the council claims it’s an “uphillâ€? struggle dealing with the huge volume of compaints they get from members of the public, and collecting WKH ÂżQHV

800 years of our mayors through the ages

News in brief Man struck by truck AN ELDERLY pensioner was rushed to University Hospital on Monday after he was struck by a truck on the main Waterford to Cork road. The accident occured in the vicinity of the former Long Haul bar, a short distance from Kilmeaden as the victim was crossing the road to buy strawberries. It is understood the man, named locally as Paddy Galvin who is in his 70s, did not sustain life threatening injuries.

Council no to Nama

WATERFORD City and County Council has turned down half of all properties offered by NAMA for social housing. Local authorities across the country have been criticised for rejecting homes while the housing and homelessness crisis persists. New figures reveal the local council was offered 105 properties by NAMA, but only took 53. However, senior council officers say many of the properties did not meet the local authority’s needs.

Bomb alert drama

THE Army bomb disposal team was drafted in after an historic artillery shell was found in a residential area of Dunmore East earlier this week. They were called to the scene following a request from gardaí when a suspicious device was discovered by members of the public. Some local residents were evacuated from their homes as a safety precaution, and a cordon was put in place before the device was made safe.

Benefit fraud fiasco

Clonmel Horse Show & Agricultural Society Ltd

WATERFORD is one of the country’s blackspots for dodgy benefit claims. This is according to new figures that show suspected fraud overpayments during 2015. Some €916,737.32 was paid out in bogus welfare claims and subsequently recovered by the State in Waterford last year. This puts Waterford as the fourth worst offending county when it comes to benefit fraud. Only Cavan, Longford and Carlow were higher.

Thief escapes jail Above: Ann Cusack, Granville Hotel, admiring some of the exhibits; and (below) Anne McEneaney and Ann Howard at the exhibition

A THIEF who stole two laptops and a pair of runners from a city guesthouse has escaped jail. Martin McGrath (34), with an address at Connolly Place, Waterford, was given a 10-month suspended sentence for stealing the items, valued at €1,456, from the Portree Guesthouse on Mary Street on St Patrick’s Day last year. Judge Kavin Staunton described the theft as a “nasty offence”, but suspended the sentence for two years.

Extra school places

ADDITIONAL capacity will be provided at Ardscoil na Mara in Tramore - signalling an end to the long-running controversy involving local ‘feeder’ schools. The Department of Education has confirmed it has reached agreement with the school’s authorities for the provision of additional accommodation that will “significantly enhance the capacity of the school”, which will benefit all pupils in the Tramore area.

RTE joins forces with WIT team New deal set to beneďŹ t college and broadcaster

330 men march 1,640km WATERFORD is playing a leading role in a major new health initiative that will see men from all over the county and country to come together to walk, jog or run from Dublin to Bordeaux ahead of Ireland’s clash with Belgium at Euro 2016. Men of all ages, shapes and sizes across the country begun the trek to celebrate Men’s Health Week on Monday. Many local men are taking part in the local event being co-ordinated by Waterford Sports Partnership and including participants on the Men on the Move programme, which has run in Waterford city and Dungarvan and is an initiative of Waterford Institute of Technology researchers. Over 900 men across eight counties in Ireland have been involved in a national Men on the Move research project. Men on the Move is a 12 week physical activity programme for men. The programme is designed for men who are currently inactive and who want to become active or resume activity.

TOGETHER WE STAND: Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill with his Republic of Ireland namesake Martin

With each man completing a 5km walk, jog or run at their own pace, collectively almost 330 men will complete the 1,640km distance from Dublin to Bordeaux to support the Irish Soccer team taking on Belgium.

The project lead of the research project is Dr Paula Carroll from Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT). She said: “Men on the Move has completely dispelled the myth that men are not willing to engage with their

health and well-being, and that men don’t talk. Evidence from this programme is that men will engage and go the distance when the service or intervention is tailored for their needs.�

Go ‘al desko’ and grow your own food at work A CALL has gone out to Waterford companies to go ‘al desko’ and grow their own food at work. GIY and Cully & Sully aim to sign up 500 businesses across the country to join their growing food at work initiative. Insomnia CEO Bobby Kerr and Dragon Alison Cowzer have come on board to help launch the food-growing challenge, called “Give Peas a Chance’. The initiative aims to help people understand where their food comes from. Once they sign up to the challenge, teams representing different companies will receive a free Grow pack of sowing pots, seeds and soil plus expert growing tips and training advice from GIY. Companies then kick off their ‘al desko’ growing, competing against each other by logging their growing adven-

tures on a dedicated online ‘growing wall’ and sharing their exploits on social media. The most engaged and green-fingered team win vouchers to visit Ballymaloe House & Cookery School worth â‚Ź1,500. They will also

GROW YOUR OWN. Michael Kelly in his kitchen garden

get to donate a community garden worth â‚Ź3,000 to a local cause of their choice, from a hospice or school to a care home or Men’s Shed. Last year’s challenge was won by Optimal Chiropractic in Cork who donated their community garden to the Cork Association for Autism in Mogeely. A spring gathering of ‘meitheal’ earlier this year installed and built the garden, which will be of huge therapeutic benefit to the service users. GIY founder Michael Kelly said: “People are often daunted by the idea of growing their own food, so this challenge shows them how simple it is, and you get to harvest some lovely pea shoots to eat right off your little mini farm on your desk. This is about allowing people to get under the hood of how food works and reconnect with their food in a meaningful way.â€?

Bosses should invest in workplace wellbeing Successful businesses in today’s world require a quality product or service, creativity, organisation, determination and excellent customer service skills. According to entrepreneur Richard Brandson “If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your businessâ€?. My key message to employers is that supporting better nutrition practices for workers is proven to improve overall wellness, drive productivity and reduce absence statistics. A full time worker generally consumes at least 60% of their total daily intake in an average working day, therefore workplace nutrition has the potential to signiďŹ cantly impact on our health. PRODUCTIVITY Up to 10% of sick leave and higher levels of productivity loss at work are attributed to lifestyle behaviours and obesity. According to the 2015 NICE guidance on workplace policy and management practices to improve the health and wellbeing of employees, obese employees take an average of four extra days sick per year. For a company employing 1000 people, this could directly result in â‚Ź160,000 a year in lost productivity due to a range of issues e.g. back problems and sleep apnoea. The food we eat and the timing of meals can have a huge impact on our performance “on the jobâ€? i.e. nurses who consumed a healthy breakfast daily had lower stress levels, fewer cognitive mistakes and minor accidents at work. Unhealthier snack choices were associated with higher stress and more minor injuries outside of work. Other examples of the effect of nutrition on employee performance include hydration.

Our hydration levels are affected by many environmental conditions in the workplace, such as air conditioning, hot physical conditions and wearing protective clothing. Poor hydration practices during the working day can cause headaches, tiredness and loss of concentration and impact on mental as well as physical performance. Adequate hydration and regular eating patterns however can support staff in accurate decision making and help prevent dips in concentration levels and lowers fatigue and anxiety. The key aspects of a good nutrition intervention include: • Employees are involved in planning and delivering the intervention (through needs assessments). • Senior management are consulted on the planning of an intervention in addition to being visibly committed to the intervention. • Multi-level approaches work best e.g. group workshops alongside small improvements to catering provisions. • People certainly don’t not like being told what to do! A collaborative approach and behaviour change strategies are essential for facilitating change. • A follow up at one year is recommended to review the success of the intervention absenteeism rates etc. • INDI Registered Dietitians are the gold standard when it comes to nutrition and food professionals to guide workplace wellbeing initiatives. Ellen Roche is a dietitian at Nutri Vive Nutrition Clinic. For one-to-one professional nutrition advice to achieve optimal health and wellbeing contact the clinic. VHI etc approved.

DVD of the week

The Revenant While exploring the uncharted wilderness in 1823, frontiersman Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) sustains life-threatening injuries from a brutal bear attack. When a member (Tom Hardy) of his hunting team kills his young son (Forrest Goodluck) and leaves him for dead, Glass must utilize his survival skills to find a way back to civilization. Grief-stricken and fueled by vengeance, the legendary fur trapper treks through the snowy terrain to track down the man who betrayed him.

7

Album of the week

Stranger to Stranger by Paul Simon Stranger to Stranger is arguably the best album of Paul Simon’s uneven postGraceland solo career, with his melodic songwriting is buoyed by adventurous arrangements. It’s as inviting, immaculately produced, jokey and unsettled a record as any he has ever made. His sophisticated feel for rhythm is in full force here, but he also explores new territory with the interesting instruments of iconoclastic avant-garde composer Harry Partch, which include a chromelodeon and zoomoozophone.

Capturing the true essence of times past and classic seaside fun experience, the Promenade Festival has grown into the biggest seaside family festival in Ireland.

Experience the emergence of Faith, a brave Runner who uncovers a hidden truth inside the walls of the city of Glass. Faith explores every corner of the city, from the highest, most pristine skyscrapers, to the dark and dingy tunnels that underlie the city. Players must master the environment, using their momentum and timing their combat to fight the ruling elite, uncovering the dark secrets behind the city’s beautiful façade.

The Vegetarian by Han Kang

Pixel Cup Soccer 16

Before the nightmare, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary life. But when blood-soaked images start haunting her thoughts, Yeong-hye decides to purge her mind and renounce eating meat, a decision which eventually uproots her whole existence. A disturbing, yet beautifully composed narrative told in three parts, The Vegetarian is an allegorical novel about modern day South Korea, but also a story of obsession, choice, and our faltering attempts to understand others.

For gamers brought up on realistic games like FIFA, Pixel Cup Soccer 16 may come as a bit of a shock. Here, little pixelated footy stars zoom about a pitch, playing a game that barely pays lip service to reality, let alone the rules of football, or even physics. But the overriding feeling when playing Pixel Cup Soccer is one of of ludicrous fun. It’s all about amazing snaking runs through an opposition desperately trying to slide-tackle you, and blasting shots from the halfway line.

It’s interesting how so often in recent months that the theme of administration and organisation has come up. Staying with that theme, this week the accent is on communication (a good time to assess your mobile phone contract for example). It could also be that a colleague - relatively new to the scene - will have ideas as to how management of a project could be improved. It’s only been a week since Venus appeared as an evening star, so these should be viewed as early days. That said, with Mercury now in neighbouring Gemini, it may be that you are already aware of a different flow. It could be that this is financial but it’s as likely that in key relationships you’re sensing a change of dynamic. Mercury arrives in your sign on Monday and from that moment on, you could feel that your year has truly got underway. By the time the Sun moves into neighbouring Cancer next week, you may decide you’ve come as far as you possibly can with regard to a project or argument that’s been in the air now for months. The dynamic this week is very different to that of recent weeks. It’s probable that you’re now juggling many different balls and arguably considering whether or not developing a second string to your bow is viable or not. It may be that you simply cannot follow a career path as has been followed in the past. The art may be to carve a route peculiar to you. For a few weeks every year Mercury passes through the networking sector of your solar chart (starts on June 13th and ends on 29th). It’s reasonable to imagine you at least considering joining a group or association. Another possibility is giving thought to how you feed your brain. Is it time to turn to a better set of websites, newspaper, film series?? It might be an idea to think back to just after your birthday last year and plans made then.Though obviously much depends on your personal chart, it’s probable that these have now reached a turning point. It could be that earlier confidence in a working arrangement was misplaced. In fact, there may be no‘fault’whatsoever - simply changed circumstances.

Anticipate a flurry of activity as Mercury moves into another of the Air signs as of Monday. It seems there are SO many people you need to be in touch with: catching up with news from afar and ensuring that those who need to be kept in the loop are kept there! It’s entirely possible that more than one person is mystified by your plans (and maybe even by your behaviour). Mercury moves into Gemini and with the Moon in another of the Air signs, discussions could turn to matters often set aside: from long-term financial and tax planning to the meaning of life itself. Much of this may be driven by someone with very strong opinions and plans who enthuses you to think differently (even if they don’t actually change your mind).

Mercury moves into your opposite sign and both partners and close colleagues could come up with ideas that threaten to blow you away. Whether these plans are unrealistic or actually visionary-practical, and whilst initially enthralled by proposals, you could soon feel over-whelmed and even angry that you’re being asked to take on more - and more. Let’s hope that you really are‘bring it on’mood (highly likely) as sparks could fly - at least initially. As seems to have been the case for positively ages, it’s probable that‘artists’will hold you back. Whilst for you the main focus will surely be on neat and efficient administration, theirs will of course be on aesthetics. Mercury moves into another of the Air signs and ideas should flow. More than one might even be profitable (though not immediately). True, tuning in to opportunity might not be so easy. You probably know that you are sensitive to the positions of both Saturn and Uranus. If you’re tuned in to Saturn this week then you could feel truly disheartened: concerned about costs (in every sense). Moving things around is the big theme. At one level you could be‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’, at another you might need to make space for text books or notes. You might also wish to prove to someone that you have an organisational system which, though it is clearly a mystery to others, works for you.

THE

SIDELINE CUT

Cody’s Cats are still the cream of the crop

AS usual, the rumours of Kilkenny’s decline appear to have been greatly exaggerated. Following their thrashing at the hands of Clare in the league semi final, many were quick out of the traps to criticise what they saw as a distinctly average Kilkenny side that, they said, would struggle to capture another three-in-a-row. Some even went so far as to hail the emergence of a new hurling order, with Clare and Waterford leading the revolution against the established superpowers. All of this, of course, was premature to say the least. And after his own experience of heartache and near misses down through the years, you would have expected John Mullane not to be quite so bullish in his prediction that this would be Waterford’s year. Don’t get me wrong, The Cut has been absolutely thrilled with the DÊise’s progress this year, and the manner of the demolition job on Clare in the Munster semi final bodes very well for Derek McGrath’s brave young stars. But the fact is we are still only in mid June, and there is a long summer ahead. Any doubts about Kilkenny’s supposed vulnerability were surely washed away in their 10-point drubbing of Dublin last weekend. The fact remains that Kilkenny still look the team to beat. Even without one of their top three performers, Richie Hogan, they eased past a disappointing Dublin side who had impressed in their first game against Wexford. It was a chastening

experience for the Dubs and a setback to their confidence. It also begs the question as to Wexford’s status in the current order of merit. Cody will be pleased with the game time for Eoin Larkin and the form of Michael Fennelly as they now head for another Leinster final. He is brilliantly managing the intercounty career of Fennelly who is one of his three main assets and his rock at midfield. Dublin now head for the first round of the qualifiers which will be made up of three Munster and five Leinster teams. Clare, Cork, and Limerick or Tipperary will play Leinster opponents while two Leinster teams play one another. As I said, it is still only June, but which counties still harbour ambitions of ultimate glory? The Leinster counties heading into the qualifiers can be discounted. In Munster, our lads and Tipperary will want to transverse the direct route while Clare will retain ambitions of coming through the ‘back door’, as they have done before. Waterford and Tipp are the other contenders with the enigmatic Galway, on their day, a serious team, also in the wings. Clare may still have a say but their preparation and efforts to win the league may reduce their chances of peaking again in September. Kilkenny remain favourites and if they can get their first choice 15 onto the battlefield on All-Ireland final day, they will be very difficult to dethrone.
