Lord Mayor of Dublin Commission on Employment: Promoting Cultural and Creative Industries and Innovation. 19th January 2010
Against a backdrop of rising unemployment and the continuing economic recession, the Lord Mayor Cllr. Emer Costello and City Council members are developing an agenda for the coming year that prioritises jobs and the protection of existing employment in a City that makes the most of the talents of its citizens.
One of the central mechanisms to progress this agenda is the establishment of the Lord Mayor’s Commission on Employment. It is intended that all the political parties and independents in the City Council, together with the communities they represent will take ownership of the Commission. It will engage in wide-ranging consultation The Commission will communicate and engage with the people who are most experiencing the impact of the current economic recession and will do so in a meaningful way that sustains its operation well beyond the term of office of the current Lord Mayor.
A workshop to examine the importance of the Creative & Cultural Industries in Dublin and their potential growth as a vibrant economic sector will be part of the Lord Mayors Commission on Employment and it will take place on Tuesday 19th January from 10:00 to 12:30 in the Wood Quay Venue (entrance beside the amphitheater, from Fishamble Street)
