32 jobs created at Johnstown Castle

By Dan Walsh

Thirty-two Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection civil servants began working in Johnstown Castle from last Monday dealing with pandemic unemployment payment-related matters.

Wexford TD and Minister of State for Law Reform James Browne told WexfordLocal.com; “I’m glad to see the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection create an additional section, which will be based in Johnstown Castle. The pandemic unemployment payment has been a vital source of income for thousands of County Wexford people. Given that the payment will continue to be paid until April 2021, there remains a great deal of administration work to be done.

“I wish every success to these hard-working Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection workers and I’m glad to see the Department recognise the hard-working ability of County Wexford civil servants”, Minister Browne concluded.
