Dublin decentralisation damage warning

June 03, 2004 13:00
An executive member of Dublin’s Chamber of Commerce has said the Government’s decentralisation plans will have the same impact as closing down the Irish Financial Services Centre.

Tony Boyle, chief executive of Sigma Wireless, said the Dublin Chamber was writing to the Taoiseach to ask him to take ‘urgent action’ to address the consequences of losing 10,000 civil servants.

He was speaking at the National College of Ireland in Dublin this morning.

Mr Boyle also said Irish manufacturers would not be able to compete globally unless they became more involved in designing new products and services for world markets.

How can something that the planners, the workers and the chambers object to actually be steamrolled through?

Maybe all this country really has become Parlon Country :confused:

I particularly like the story where 200 head office Bus Eireann employees were promised for Midleton Co. Cork… but there are only 80….

They overlooked the fact that the remaining 120 were there to maintain the Dublin based buses.
But sure, can’t they decentralise the buses too. After all, with all the civil servants being sent to the sticks, there wont be as big a need for rural buses from Dublin. 😀
