Sinn Féin Councillor Seán Crowe this week launched a set of proposals aimed at making self employment a realistic option for young people.

Councillor Crowe said enabling the young unemployed to start up new businesses would be a huge boost to the local economy in Tallaght and other unemployment black-spots throughout the state.

Speaking to the media at Leinster House on Thursday Councillor Crowe said: “More and more young people are leaving Ireland.  If this continues, the ability of the economy to recover will be undermined as we will have exported all our young skilled workers.

“Just 1.3% of workers aged between 15 and 24 are self employed as most young people have neither the confidence nor the practical support to start up their own enterprises.   Setting up their own businesses needs to be made a real option for the young unemployed.

“There are many young people in Tallaght who would love to stay in Ireland and build their own business but just don’t see this as possible at the moment.  New businesses fit for a new economy needed to be created – the young unemployed are the people best placed to creative innovative modern business that can thrive into the future.

Modern Irish Republicans trace their political origins to the movement of the United Irishmen of the 1790s. They took their inspiration from the French Revolution and fought for the breaking of the political connection between Ireland and Britain, believing that only an independent Ireland could guarantee equality and prosperity for the Irish people.

Sinn Féin Councillor Seán Crowe has called on the Government to produce a specific plan to tackle unemployment black-spots after Tallaght’s unemployment figure jumped by more than 500 in July to 11,169.

Councillor Crowe said this is one of the highest increases in unemployment throughout the state with only Cork City, Limerick City and Galway City recording higher jumps.

Speaking today at a protest outside the Tallaght Social Welfare Office Councillor Crowe said:

“The state-wide unemployment figure rose by 8,500 during July.  Of that 8,500, 507 were in Tallaght alone.
