Presently demand for agricultural sheds and other farm buildings are in poor demand in rural Ireland these days, but this has not dampened the efforts of agricultural shed manufacturers O’Dwyer Steel, one of Ireland’s leading structural steel engineering businesses, situated in Dundrum village in County Tipperary.
 The company have just completed the construction of a large animal compound, including swimming pool, animal accommodation and lifting equipment, for Dublin’s zoo elephant population.
As part of its new diversification program the company is also currently building a new farm in the heart of ‘the big smoke’, also at Dublin city zoo in Phoenix Park, Dublin 8.
This project will involve the construction of a miniature farmyard, to give Dublin urban-ites a true taste of farm life as experienced in everyday rural Ireland.

 Taro Pharmaceuticals Roscrea Taro Pharmaceuticals Ireland Ltd, what was once the flagship of employment in the Mid West region, is to cease operations with the loss of 31 jobs in Roscrea, Co.Tipperary.
Taro is a multinational, science-based pharmaceutical company, dedicated to meeting the needs of its customers through the discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing of the highest quality health care products.
The former Antigen Factory announced the closure despite a number of measures in recent months to attempt to save jobs at it’s Roscrea facility.
An angry Deputy Noel Coonan expressed deep regret at the announcement by Taro Pharmaceuticals stating:-
“This is another psychological blow for the town. After a number of fake dawns, this once great Antigen factory will finally grind to a halt. This former Antigen, now Taro Pharmaceuticals, has historically provided meaningful employment in Roscrea for many decades but now the locks and bolts will be chained on the gates.
It’s a sad day for the town of Roscrea and for all those who worked there.
This closure of Taro Pharmaceuticals brings to mind the comments of Denis Brosnan, Chairman of the Mid West Task Force when he recently said that the Government and State Agencies such as the IDA and Enterprise Ireland have failed the Mid West Region. This is certainly true of Roscrea and I’m calling on the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Mary Coughlan TD to direct the necessary resources and expertise towards Roscrea in an attempt to stop the hemorrhaging of jobs.
In Roscrea over the last two years job seekers payments are up by 987 or 100%. The time for talking has long since passed. It’s time for action. For too long the Government, through the State Agencies, failed to deliver infrastructural development to North Tipperary and in particular to the Roscrea region. Numerous areas are still without high speed Internet access despite the richness of the Celtic Tiger era. This lack of competitiveness and infrastructural shortfall exists as a result of flawed Government policy. It is a major hindrance in attracting companies to the area and an issue I am continually highlighting to the Minister of Communications. The highly skilled employees who worked in Taro Pharmaceuticals will now become another number on the dole queue. My heart goes out to all who have been left jobless and their families. It is shocking that this Government, the Greens and the Independents who support it, are so willing to bail out the banks while preying on the little people,” he concluded.
Here is an interesting job, for anyone in the 18 -21 year old category, currently being offered through jobs.ie.
It is also a warning to those in the off-licence business who may be slow to request ID when selling alcohol or tobacco products.

 Dole Queue Latest CSO figures revealing an additional 188 people joined the dole queue in North Tipperary over the month of December. This is a rise of 3% from 6,385 to 6,573.
Over the month of December, Nenagh’s local office saw the largest jump with 96 extra people signing on. The corresponding figure in Roscrea was 55 and in Thurles the number was 37.
North Tipperary has experienced a 189% increase in the number of people under-25 signing on in the last two years. This percentage represents an additional 884 people. Thurles fared the worst over the same time period with an extra 368 joining the dole, in Nenagh the figure was slightly less at 345 and in Roscrea the number was 171.
The Fine Gael TD Deputy Noel Coonan stated:
“Unemployment jumped by a whopping 52% over the last year alone in North Tipperary. An additional 2,239 people signed on between December 2008 and December 2009. These figures are astounding and a very real sign of this Government’s gross incompetence. Nenagh fared with worst with a 57% increase over the same period. There was a 51% increase in Roscrea and 47% rise in Thurles. Unemployment rate has reached a 14 year high and nationally there are 426,700 people signing on the live register, the highest number in history. It’s clear the Government is more interested in saving banks than getting people back to work. The recent Budget is proof of this with a strong absence of any comprehensive jobs strategy.”
Fine Gael believes the Government should immediately introduce a Job Creation and Job Retention package. This should include:
1. An across-the-board cut in the Jobs Tax (employers’ PRSI) to stimulate job creation;
2. An aggressive programme to reduce the high cost of doing business and restore competitiveness;
3. The provision of 30,000 education and training places for the young unemployed through a National Internship Programme and second-chance education;
4. Introducing a Workshare scheme in industry to enable employers to keep more people in employment on a part-time basis;
5. Adopting Fine Gael’s NewERA plan to invest €18 billion in infrastructure by re-tooling the semi-States and making them engines for growth.
