Man gets €45k for delivering 30 top jobs

A Scottish man who helped deliver 30 new high-end jobs to Ireland through a Government-backed cash-for-jobs initiative is poised to get a €45,000 “thank you” cheque.

Glasgow-based Stephen McGoldrick will be presented with an initial €15,000 installment from Connect-Ireland at Cork’s City Hall on Tuesday.

Mr McGoldrick said he was delighted to get such a large cash reward for what he described as a “very simple task”.
