Summary:
The crafts and design sector could create the Irish around 1800 extra jobs. This research was carried out on behalf of the Crafts Council. Attendees of the summit held in Dublin by this council agreed on looking into the possibillities of creating zonal clusters of crafts talents. As stated, the economic recovery will be driven by the creation of new jobs and as Ireland’s cultural international identity was formed by this sector, it seems somewhat like their responsibillity to create jobs in their sector. The Council celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Response:
Although this seems like a wonderful option in creating more places to work, the Irish should really consider that crafts are somewhat of a dying art. It seems to me that it is highly unlikely that the demand for originally hand crafted items will decrease with the fade of the elderly. The ‘modern’ generation might just not be up for the task of filling in these positions on the job market and therefore this would only be a temporary solution. Perhaps this will work just about enough to give them some time to think of something else to push their economy in the right direction.
