Call on emigrants to come home to fill job vacancies

The Government is launching a ‘Home to Work’ campaign in the run up to Christmas to try to encourage emigrants to return.

Launching the initiative #hometowork in Dingle, Co Kerry, Diaspora Minister Jimmy Deenihan said the campaign will focus on making sure returning emigrants are put in touch with companies looking to fill vacancies.

Although the detail was short, he said the target is to reduce unemployment to under 6% by 2018.
