IDA under fire from employers as mid-west misses out on new jobs

EMPLOYERS have attacked the Industrial Development Authority’s (IDA) zero job performance in the mid-west.

Of 12,605 jobs created last year in IDA-supported industry around the country, the mid-west did not get one.

Employers group IBEC called on politicians to stand up and protest at the “trickle” of industrial jobs created in the region in recent years.
