Government\u00a0 Failing Job Seekers- Crowe<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dublin South West TD Se\u00e1n Crowe has hit out at the Government\u2019s lack of \u00a0job creation schemes and said that they are failing job seekers after the release of the\u00a0latest 2012 Live Register figures from the CSO.<\/p>\n

The figures show that the unemployment rate stands at 14.7%; it was 14.3% when the current Government took office in March 2011 on a platform that promised the delivery of\u00a0thousands of new jobs.\u00a0 The\u00a0 CSO figures also highlight that the growth rate of\u00a0 those in long-term unemployment( those signing on for more than year) has grown by \u00a0to 44.2% all unemployed; it was 40.8% a year ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese latest\u00a0CSO figures are frankly appalling, and track just how weak this government has been at creating real\u00a0jobs. On a daily basis they are failing job seekers and \u00a0failing to deliver any hope for\u00a0those stuck on the uneployment treadmill.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe rate of unemployment has risen since the government took office in March 2011, and it now stands at 14.7%. When one considers the high rate of emigration we have witnessed during this time, to have an unemployment rate that is increasing, is a\u00a0disgrace.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn Tallaght\u00a0 the amount on the live register has increased from 10,589, when the government took office in March 2011 on a platform of delivering thousands of jobs\u00a0\u00a0to 12,152 in August 2012. The government\u2019s policy of\u00a0 cutting real\u00a0jobs in the public sector and lack of any success in increasing investment in the private sector will add more to the \u00a0unemployment figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe government are increasingly out of touch with the average Irish family struggling under the austerity measures and high rates of unemployment. In these tough times job creation needs to be a forefront of the government\u2019s policies and priorities. To have 44.2% of all unemployed people as long-term unemployed is unacceptable.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis government\u2019s lack of incentive and innovative solutions in creating jobs and reducing unemployment is a daily\u00a0insult to the people of Ireland. Increasingly more and more\u00a0are struggling to make ends meet, while the government continues to gamble by bailing out failed banks and bondholders with billions of Irish taxpayers hard earned\u00a0euros.\u201d
