Leading ferry company, Stena Line, transported a 150 year old steam engine called ‘Princess’ from Wales to Dublin Port as part of The Gathering Ireland recently. ‘Princess’ is owned by the world’s oldest railway, Ffestiniog Railway in Wales, the first narrow gauge railway in the world to use steam engines. ‘Princess’ will be displayed in Heuston Railway Station, Dublin for approximately six weeks, from the 6 June, at the ticket desks where she will be enjoyed by thousands of travellers passing through one of Ireland’s busiest cities. Pictured welcoming ‘Princess’ to Ireland at Dublin Port is Gill McAlinden and Barry Kelly from Stena Line with Chris Parry, Welsh Highland Railways (far right).
drop to 13.7% unemployment rate ConFirms positive trend
The announcement from the CSO that the unemployment rate has dropped to 13.7% is very good news.
Eamonn Maloney Labour Party TD, Dublin South West said that “Since entering government just over two years ago, Labour’s number one priority has been to tackle the jobs crisis and get our people back to work. More than a quarter of a million people lost their jobs between 2008 and 2011 under the last Fianna Fail
government. This high level of unemployment has had a devastating impact on families and communities across the country. Labour in government has been determined to tackle this problem head on. under the Action Plan for Jobs, 250 actions were put in place to support local job creation and attract inward investment. There have been some earlier encouraging signs including the creation of 12,000 new jobs in 2012. Now news that the unemployment
rate has decreased to 13.7% has confirmed this positive trend.
There is clearly still a long road ahead. But the drop in the unemployment rate to under 14% announced today shows that progress is being made and the government is creating the right environment in terms of new jobs and business creation. I am conscious of the high level of unemployment in the Tallaght area and in
particular, the high level of youth unemployment and I will continue to do everything I can to make sure that this Government redoubles their effort in tackling this serious problem. In particular I look forward to progress being made on the implementation of the Eu Youth Guarantee, a measure that was agreed in principle recently at a meeting of Eu Social Protection Ministers, chaired by Joan Burton.” concluded Maloney
