Jobs relaunch is water under the bridge

JOBS! Jobs! Jobs!

You can’t move these days without Brian Cowen announcing another major jobs boost. Look! There he is on a barge — water-bourne jobs a go-go — happy days are here again!

It must be so comforting for the half-million people on the dole and the other 100,000 who have had to flee the country to try and experience the dignity of labour to know Mr Cowen spends so much time relaunching his relaunched jobs plan yet again.
