A&O and Herbies share £3m of public funding for Belfast launches

@ Rousseau | 4-Feb-2011 3:16 pm - hear! hear! these are not high-end jobs that are being created, they are non-strategic support roles with a handful of commoditised legal roles to boot. They are not going to be super well-paid and hence making major contributions into the consumer economy. I'm all for government incentives to economic development, but why on earth does it have to go to a £1bn City business that has plenty of spare cash? What about investment in local SMEs or indeed social enterprises instead of the bloody fat cats?
