UDARAS REPORTS NET LOSS OF 24 JOBS IN GALWAY GAELTACHT
Date Published: 21-Jan-2013
Udarás has warned that although the level of job losses has stabilised to its lowest rate in 14 years, new employment activity is not sufficient in Gaeltacht regions.
The organisation has issued its end of year statement which shows a net loss of 24 jobs in the Galway Gaeltacht in 2012.
The majority of job reductions occurred in companies operating in the services and traditional manufacturing industries, and as a result of enterprises continuing to streamline and rationalise.
A total of 235 positions were created in the Galway Gaeltacht with 2,730 full time jobs recorded in Udaras client companies by the end of 2012.
New jobs were created in sectors including medical devices, internationally traded services and fish processing.
