ISME: Govt 'burying its head in the sand' over job losses

ISME has warned that the jobs market is "in crisis" and "the Government is burying its head in the sand", after a CSO report revealed unemployment here has risen more than 9,000 over the past month to 6%.

The Irish Small & Medium Enterprises Association outlined that the situation will only get worse unless the Government start governing and take affirmative action to prevent the labour market going into freefall.
