Dublin North West gets jobs boost - Carey

Dublin North West T.D., Minister Pat Carey is welcoming three announcements which are a major boost to the local area on the jobs front. 140 nursing jobs are to be created in Santry, 71 aircraft maintenance jobs are to be created in Eirtech Aviation while 500 new jobs will be available when terminal two opens in Dublin Airport.
 
The Minister said: “I welcome the boost in Santry with the expansion of the TLC Nursing home in Northwood. The 100 bed extension will cater for public and private patients and create 140 jobs involving full time care, day care and respite facilities. I know TLC is a successful employer in Northwood and adds to the growing community spirit in the Northwood development. This announcement is also a vote of confidence for young nursing graduates in the area.”
 
“There are also significant opportunities for locals at Dublin Airport where Eirtech Aviation is to create 70 new aircraft maintenance jobs while following the Government decision this week the DAA is to establish 500 jobs in the running of the new Terminal two when it opens in November of this year. We obviously know these announcements are in the context of very challenging times for the country but it does provide a boost for the local economy which is very much welcome at this time”
 
“News on the planning permission for Metro North is due in the next few weeks and will confirm the local area as a new economic hub along with this week’s jobs announcements”
