Planning permission was granted by An BordPleanála for the first phase of the “Euro Chinese Trading Hub.” The massive development, totalling 102,348sqm(1.1m sqft), is a huge boost for Jobs in Ireland and will be located at Creggan, 2km from Athlone.

The €175 million first phase of the hub will be a base for Chinese companies to promote trade and commerce with Europe and the rest of the world. The project is said to supply over 1,500 people with Jobs in Ireland with an additional 1,200 positions during the construction period.

Athlone Business Park Ltd will be marketing the proposed development to Chinese companies who are interested in having a European hub where they could sell their services directly to European customers without having to travel to China. The development which will have three major exhibition halls and other facilities will also have an Irish division focusing on domestic business. Anyone securing jobs in Ireland within this trading centre will provide buyers, traders and manufacturing with a one stop shop to assess products before placing bulk orders.

Chief executive of Athlone Business Park Ltd, John Tiernan said the company are aiming to begin construction at the end of next year and the plans are a major boost for jobs in Ireland.” It’s big, yes. Some people have been gobsmacked by the overall scale of the masterplan but that is only if everything comes to pass,” he said.

“I’m confident. But until the point when I’m told ‘start pouring the concrete’, there’s always some doubt. And it’s worth noting it’s a project that does not produce waste water pipes with gunge coming out – it’s a project that produces jobs.”

They are expecting to attract 1,750 visitors every day and claim it would end the need for business leaders on the US east coast to go through time-consuming visa applications and travel arrangements to get into China. The project will be a massive time saving tool for any European company looking to see Chinese factories, products and place orders.

If the overall project is to go ahead it will ultimately include two five-star hotels, 445,000sq m of exhibition halls, a Chinese palace, a commercial zone of 264,000sq m and some 186,000sq m of serviced apartments. It is believed that there is a potential for 9,000 jobs in Ireland if the master plan for the centre is fully developed.

Ireland’s construction industry received a well needed and positive boost this week with the announcement that 1,500 construction Jobs in Ireland will be created over the next two years. IDA Ireland has claimed this week that the multinationals based here are looking to expand their facilities. Some of these world leaders include Apple, Microsoft, Google and pharma giants Boston Scientific and Eli Lilly.

IDA Ireland said the strong flow of foreign direct investment projects announced will deliver a significant boost for the troubled sector by creating much needed Jobs in Ireland. They go on to confirm that an estimated 1.5m sqft build is necessary which will come as good news to any in the construction industry seeking jobs in Ireland.

“Announcements in recent days have shown the direct contribution foreign direct investment can make, but what is sometimes overlooked are the secondary, or spill-over, effects,” IDA Ireland chief executive Barry O’Leary said.

“Chief among these is the boost to the construction trade, with a demand for new build growing rapidly. This will mean fresh demand for 1,500 construction workers,” he added.

The construction industry was thriving during Ireland’s boom and grew to unsustainable levels but of recent years it is a sector of very little activity. Many construction workers are currently unemployed and finding it very difficult to secure Jobs in Ireland.

IDA Ireland continues to do a magnificent job in attracting Foreign Direct Investment to Ireland. The multinationals we previously spoke of are keeping their faith in the Irish workforce and expanding their bases here. This week’s news comes as a further boost to our worrying economy and of course construction Jobs in Ireland.

IDA Ireland also welcomed the news, saying the investment would provide a significant boost to employment locally.

“This development continues the strong trend of investment over the past years in Ireland, in particular from global ICT companies and demonstrates Ireland’s continuing success in attracting FDI additional investment,” said IDA Ireland chief executive Barry O’Leary.

FiannaFáil TD for Cork South Central, Micheál Martin said all involved should be commended on the investment.
