Colm Tobin’s 7-Point Jobs Programme & Employment Initiative

Implement strategies for furthering employment opportunities on a local level
Kickstart education and training programmes designed to create jobs and other employment opportunities “on the ground”
Release equity in private pension pots in order to foster and enhance the jobs-to-uselessness quotient, especially in rural areas
Working with religious orders and others, encourage prayers and harness other natural spiritual energy in an effort to inspire the instigation of a rural broadband network
Jobs, jobs, jobs.
Further roll-out of the Smart Economy by offering grants and reliefs in areas such as “retro-retro-fitting and “the computers”.
Invest in the traditional crafts and other uniquely Irish activities including “buying and selling homes”, “firing up apartments” and “auctioneering”.

It’s all about jobs, lads.
