Ok, I am not knocking the creation of 100 jobs or not saying it is not a good news story that should be welcomed but I am a bit annoyed at the Governments reaction to it. Both the IDA and the Government say that the announcement is "further evidence of Ireland's ability to compete for and win high quality technologically advanced Foreign Direct Investment".
They are customer service jobs. They are not high value technological jobs just because they come from a highly succesful online company. Like I say, I am not knocking the announcement but lets not pretend that it is a sign that Ireland is making progress in its quest to create a 'smart economy'.
