Ministers Richard Bruton and Gerald Nash were in Drogheda today launching the Action Plan for Jobs for the North East. 
WhiteLight Consulting were delighted to plan and manage the event on behalf of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation in conjunction with the wonderful Cooney family of the Boann Distillery.
Still under construction the new distillery and brewery (due to open in September 2016) will also feature a visitor centre and event space. It will employ 80 people and represents a huge investment by this very entrepreneurial family.
The purpose of the event was to launch the new The Action Plan for Jobs North East.
The Government’s 2015 Action Plan for Jobs places an emphasis on developing the jobs potential of the regions. It includes a commitment to develop and publish a suite of Regional Action Plans for Jobs to support enterprise growth and job creation in each region. Like the National Action Plan for Jobs, the North East Action Plan for Jobs sets out a series of commitments on the part of public bodies, complemented by some actions from the private sector, which will support enterprise growth and job creation. It is intended that this Plan will be a living, dynamic document, with additional actions and ideas added as they emerge over the lifetime of the Plan.
A copy of Action Plan for Jobs North East is available here.
