No better time to invest in Ireland
It is less than a year since President Obama stood on Dublin’s College Green, the site of Ireland’s first Parliament and in front of the historic Trinity College, and uttered the Irish words “Is féidir linn. Yes we can.” And the hearts of the enormous crowd that had turned out to greet him surged with the hope that is so essential for the difficult road Ireland has traveled and continues to face.

100 sales jobs at New Stanmore call centre
RECRUITERS are seeking unemployed people to fill 100 sales jobs at a new call centre to open in Stanmore.
Travel firm International Cruise and Excursions (ICE) Europe said it needs to expand after buying two cruise holiday websites - 1st4cruising.com and voyana.com - from a rival.
The company is based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, has a customer service centre in Cork, Ireland, and is looking to hire outbound travel sales agents for its first London office.
Interested jobseekers can attend recruitment fairs, where immediate interviews will take place, at Suite 8, Buckingham House East, The Broadway, Stanmore, today between 10am and 4pm, tomorrow (Wednesday March 21) between 12noon and 8pm and Thursday from 10am to 4pm.
The company has not disclosed the exact location of its call centre.
Warren Joy, ICE Europes senior vice president, said: The acquisition of these website domains and associated customer databases has further strengthened our position as a world leading provider of innovative cruise and travel programs.
"New recruits for the Stanmore operation will preferably have a background in sales, but they dont necessarily need travel industry experience as they will go through a four week training programme to introduce them to the range of ICE products and our proven customer relationship management systems.
"The creation of our new out-bound contact centre in Stanmore will enable us to introduce more customers from 1st4cruising.com and Voyana.com to the wide range of holiday options we offer though our established loyalty reward schemes including cruises and resort packages."

Belfast boosted with new jobs
More than 100 legal jobs are to be created in Belfast after an international company announced plans to set up in the city.
New York-based Axiom, which offers legal services to businesses around the globe, is coming to Northern Ireland with the support of more than £1.6 million of government money.
Invest NI has stumped up £1.1 million, with the Department of Employment and Learning (DEL) diverting nearly £500,000 to aid skills development.
Enterprise minister Arlene Foster welcomed the announcement.
"This significant investment by an innovative, global company is testament to the reputation of Northern Ireland's workforce," she said.
"The new centre will employ over 100 lawyers and paralegals and pay salaries significantly above the Northern Ireland private sector median, contributing almost £4 million a year to the local economy.
"This is the kind of high quality inward investment that Invest Northern Ireland seeks to attract in order to help develop a knowledge-based economy with long-term sustainability.
"It will further strengthen the cluster of international legal and financial services companies that are now operating in Northern Ireland."
DEL minister Stephen Farry added: "Axiom's decision to set up a centre in Belfast is not only a boost to employment but also to our skills base.
"The company is the leader in the rapidly growing commercial contracts outsourcing market and has developed proprietary tools, methodologies and skills, with which it will be equipping the Belfast team."

Cork jobs expo cancels ticket sales after huge demand
The Working Abroad Expo, which will kick off in Cork tomorrow, had to cancel online ticket sales after receiving unprecedented demand for the event.
The exhibition, which aims to help people secure jobs abroad, made the decision to cancel advertising and stop online tickets in light of the Dublin event.
The RDS experienced queues so long that gates were closed at 2.25pm to prevent any further admissions.
Responding to criticism that the Dublin exhibition was out of control, exhibition director, Stephen McLarnon, said many people thought the British Columbia construction association that were over offering 300,000 construction jobs, and the Working Abroad Expo, were the same event.
"The British Columbia region had a stand and a few people from the British Columbia construction association were on the stand. We didn’t know they were coming, they were only one of the participants so we hadn’t anticipated the huge numbers."
Mr McLarnon said he would strongly advise anyone attending the event to look on their website and come to the event only if their is something that you are interested in.
Over 800 tickets have already been pre-booked online and the organisers are looking into extending the opening hours.

Three companies in Dublin and Galway to create 145 new jobs
Cloud computing company SourceDogg.com is to create 80 jobs at its operations centre in the IDA Business Park in Galway.
SourceDogg.com, which was set up in 2009 by Mark Scanlon and John Quigley, has a growing number of customers across five countries, including recent signing Aer Lingus.
The company has developed procurement software which allows users to find and evaluate new suppliers with an easy-to-use application.
The 80 jobs are across the company’s engineering, IT support and professional services areas, and follows the recent addition of 12 staff late last year following an investment from Nucleus Venture Partners.
Minister for Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation Richard Bruton said: “If we are to reach the levels of employment and economic growth which we are determined to achieve, we must create a powerful engine of indigenous enterprise.
“Crucial in this will be exporting companies, and in particular high-tech, engineering-driven companies, and the Government’s action plan for jobs spells out a range of measures we will take to support these companies as they expand and create jobs.”
Meanwhile in Dublin, data collection firm Datalogic ADC plans to establish a shared services and customer management centre which will create an additional 30 jobs.
The company, a division of the Datalogic Group, will offer work to accountants, accounts payable/receivables, order management and inside sales personnel.
Elsewhere, Western Union is to create 35 jobs at its European office in Clonskeagh, south Dublin, taking the workforce to almost 100.
Western Union is the world’s largest money transfer and payment services provider operating in more than 200 countries and territories.
Announcing the jobs, Minister of State for European Affairs Lucinda Creighton said: “Western Union, and the 35 new jobs announced today, are helping to spread the benefits of Ireland’s success in attracting international financial services beyond the IFSC to areas such as Clonskeagh in the southeast of the city.
“This commitment greatly contributes to meeting the Government’s target of creating 10,000 new jobs in the financial services sector by the end of 2016, and is a significant boost to the local area.”
