Jobs will flow ‘if bureaucracy cut’

A SENIOR figure at one of the country’s largest software employers has said the Government must minimise bureaucracy to create jobs and develop the knowledge economy.

‘’Heavy bureaucracy in government, in industrial support and in education” means it’s taking too long to get work-ready employees, said Tony Devlin, operations development specialist at Ericsson in Athlone.

Speaking at the launch of the Ericsson Atlantic Corridor Primary Science Competition, he said that while the Government is moving in the right direction, particularly with the Back to Education scheme, time is running out.
