Government has given limited real attention to job creation, says group

The Government’s record on job creation has been strongly criticised by Social Justice Ireland, which said it has given “limited real attention to the issue”.

The social policy campaign group has said it is “unjust and indefensible” that Irish people have had to bear the debt burden of banks “caused by the reckless gambling of German and French banks”.

It has launched a report, Shaping Ireland’s Future, which looks at the impact of economic policies on areas including health, education and housing.
