Tesco to create 220 jobs in Drogheda

Tesco will create 220 new jobs in Drogheda today with the opening of a new store in the town.

The supermarket chain said shoppers will also be able to chose products from six local suppliers whose foods will be highlighted on shelves by the Louth County colours.

Located in the Rathmullan Business Centre, just off the M1 motorway, the new store is Tesco Ireland’s 15th new premises opened this year.

It will be the second shop in Drogheda and fourth in Co Louth where 460 people are employed by the chain.

Local TD and Justice Minister Dermot Ahern said the new jobs were a major boost to the economy of the area.

“This is Tesco’s fourth store alone in Louth and they are to be commended for their commitment to their store opening programme and to job creation,” he added.

Tesco Ireland employs some 13,500 people.

while it is true that 220 jobs will be 'created' in a new Tesco store - it is NOT true that 220 jobs will in truth have been created.

Tesco offers a localised SERVICE. It does not manufacture anything. It certainly exports nothing except the massive profits it makes (off to Shirl, ex-Dame of the Realm, currently a fugitive from British Justice holed up in a comfy lair in Israel.)

Due to the nature of it's business and the business model itself, Tesco's new store will siphon jobs out of the local economy over a fairly short a period of time.

Ergo,in reality it is totally incorrect to say that any new jobs will be created by this new store, and indeed it is more than likely this store will have an negative impact on job figures in the area overall, as small locally-owned stores shut up shop, unable to compete with the purchasing power of the supermarket giant.

Media whores gotta earn a crust though . . .
