We need pride in our city again

When we lose a loved one we need to grieve and then we try to move on. We have grieved the demise of the Celtic Tiger long enough, it is time to move on.

During October our small business have taken on new employees, in our offices in Cork and Galway. As far as we are concerned, the recession is now over, it’s time to move on. I would say to every family business owner who reads this letter if you can and are even vaguely thinking about employing another person soon, do it now!

As a proud Cork man I have to admit that I read the article by Joe Gill in Wednesday’s edition with great interest and a fair amount of built-up frustration at the decay of what was once a proud and thriving commercial street, the South Mall.
