    1000's of jobs in jeopardy

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7869786.stm

    The number claiming unemployment benefit in the Irish Republic rose in January to the highest monthly level since records began in 1967.

    Figures showed 326,100 people made unemployment claims in January, up from 293,100 in December, according to the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

    The CSO also said the unemployment rate rose to 9.2% last month, the highest rate since January 1998.

    The Irish Republic fell into recession in September last year.



    Murphy and Paddy are now looking for these jobs in jeopardy.

        All they have to do is reverse the law banning smoking indoors and the Irish can go back to what they always do... making guiness, opening pubs, drinking guiness...

        wullah! Full employment again, even if most of those employed are basically standing round a bar drinking guiness. It'll be like the Ireland of old, before they attempted to have a *real* economy.

        And remember, U2 are on tour again shortly, that should halve the Irish unemployment rate....
