Irish workers set to return to Ireland as high quality jobs are created

The creation of 125 new jobs in Dundalk will provide further incentive for young people who left Ireland to work abroad to return home. Speaking at the launch of US company Graebel's new European headquarters at Finnabair estate, Cllr. John McGahon, who is chairman of the Dundalk Muncipal District Committee said it was the quality of employment opportunities that would attract young people home again. He said it was the 'young people of my generation' many of whom had been forced to go overseas in search of employment in recent years, who could benefit from the arrival of companies like Graebel to Dundalk. The chairman added that Dundalk had a proud history of business, and wished Graebel's every success in setting up their new headquarters in the town. 'Dundalk has such a proud tradition of industry and it's fantastic that Graebel's announcement of 125 jobs is the latest addition to the rich tapestry of industry and commence that Dundalk is so proud of.' Martin Shanahan, CEO of IDA Ireland also welcomed the announcement, saying: 'The decision by Graebel Companies Inc., to establish its EMEA Financial Shared Services and Operations Centre in Dundalk is very welcome. He added that IDA Ireland has 'worked closely with the company in recent years to win this investment for Ireland.' The types of roles being created coupled with strategic value of the centre is in line with IDA's strategic objective to win high quality investments in regional locations.'
