Brosnan claims businesses in west being forgotten by the Government

WEST of Ireland business people have to navigate their own path to recovery as state agencies will not come to their rescue, says entrepreneur Denis Brosnan.

The former Kerry Group chairman was speaking at the County and City Enterprise Boards forum “What are the jobs of the future?” in Cork’s Clarion Hotel yesterday.

“The west is being slowly forgotten by the Government,” said Mr Brosnan. “I’m on a mid-west task force in the wake of the Dell closure. The only route forward we can give to young people is to stay in education until the storm blows over.”
