Taoiseach launches new PRSI scheme to stimulate jobs

A new PRSI scheme aimed at helping employers to create jobs was launched by the Taoiseach and Minister Eamonn O'Cuiv today.

The initiative - which was announced in the last Budget - will save employers around €3,000 from the annual cost of hiring an extra worker. The scheme targets those who have been out of work for more than six months.
