There is a very truthful and in-your-face article in the Independent newspaper today outlining the dire economic situation in Nenagh and surrounding areas.
Just over 3,000 people were signing on the live register in Nenagh in June — a 200pc increase on unemployment figures in early 2008.
Nenagh has the biggest population and the biggest unemployed population in north Tipperary. The options, especially for young people, would seem stark: emigrate or join the dole queue.
Shocking facts and something that needs to be addressed ASAP. In my opinion the format of the Open Coffee Club is a good way for the entrepreneurial community in Nenagh and surrounding areas to share ideas, support each other and create new business and employment. If you are not familiar with the idea of an Open Coffee Club meeting please read our “about” page.
I suggest that the next Nenagh Open Coffee Club will take place on Thursday 5th of August. Venue is as usual: O’Briens on Kenyon Street in Nenagh. I will put more details on attendees etc on this page as it becomes available. However is this all stands or falls by the number of people attending I am setting the target off at least 10 people attending. Please leave your name and details as a comment on this post if you’re interested in attending and DO pass this on to your friends, family and contacts who might be interested!
