Waste management firm Chemishield to create 50 new Irish jobs
Chemical waste management company Chemishield has announced the creation of 50 new roles across its Irish operations. The jobs will be filled in the next 18 months, the company has said, and will support Chemishield's next phase of growth which will include its expansion into North America. As well as its geographical expansion, the company is also aiming for increased customer acquisition and new product development. The company has also announced that Malcolm Bell, the CEO of Envetec Sustainable Technologies, has made a strategic investment in the company and joined its board of directors. The investment represents an important new phase for Chemishield, with firm said, with Mr Bell boasting "an impressive track record in businesses such as healthcare, life sciences, and sustainability." 'Malcolm's decision to join Chemishield highlights the scale of the opportunity ahead,' said Kevin Walsh, founder and CEO of Chemishield. 'We are changing how chemical and lab waste is managed at its source, and Malcolm's strategic insight, proven track record, and experience scaling companies will be essential as we grow our platform and expand our partnerships. Over the next 18 months, we expect to onboard up to 50 FTEs across sales, support and tech.' Chemishield's cloud-based platform replaces older manual systems with digital tools that automate waste classification, regulatory labelling, and compliance reporting. The software helps organisations reduce risk, cut costs, and meet ESG goals while supporting broader digital transformation agendas. 'Chemishield sits at the intersection of safety, sustainability, and digital transformation," said Malcolm Bell, founder and CEO of Envetec. 'With rising demand across essential industries, Chemishield is uniquely positioned to scale and set a new benchmark for compliance, safety, and operational efficiency.' In addition to its expansion, the company is also exploring white-label opportunities with global environmental service providers. Chemishield focuses on key sectors, including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, life sciences, and food and beverages. Its waste segregation module is the first of its kind, enabling environmental, health and safety, and lab teams to eliminate errors at the source while enhancing data capture and waste stream traceability.

Ireland does not satisfy international standard for election observation, group claims
The Government has been called on to reassess legislation around election observing after reported issues during the general election. Non-governmental organisation Democracy Volunteers sent a group of observers to Dublin and Kildare to observe but said that while the Government and "many individual returning officers" are welcoming, some were not. The group claimed Ireland does not fully meet the international standard for election observation as, in the case of a general election, observation is only possible where each individual returning officer gives their approval for it to go ahead. As a result, election observation can, and sometimes is, prevented by local returning officers, said director of Democracy Volunteers, Dr John Ault. "This is not an ideal situation as, despite the clear benefits of election observation, which the Irish Foreign Ministry contributes to around the world, as part of the EU and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) states, it does not fully allow observation of its own elections," said Dr Ault. "We therefore call on the Irish Government to reassess its legalisation regarding election observation to allow domestic and international observers full access to the voting process." Minister for housing and local government, James Browne, said his department actively seeks to facilitate the attendance of observers at any election or referendum whenever such requests are received. Mr Browne said requests from Democracy Volunteers have been facilitated in the past, including the most recent general election. The OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights undertook needs assessment missions in advance of the last four general elections, Mr Browne noted. However, on these occasions it did not deploy full election-related missions with the last full mission taking place ahead of the general election in March 2007. Responding to a question from People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Paul Murphy, Mr Browne said there are no plans at present to amend electoral law regarding election observation. "The legislation is kept under ongoing review and my department will continue to engage with all organisations involved in observing elections with a view to facilitating any future requests to observe at Irish elections," said Mr Browne.
