Former Waterford Crystal site to become part of enterprise centre on university campus
THE FORMER WATERFORD Crystal manufacturing site is to become part of the country's first co-located university enterprise quarter. A 37-acre 'Glassworks' site will be established as part of the €130m plan, featuring offices beside the South East Technological University's (SETU) academic and research facilities. The site will develop to have capacity for up to 6,000 employees, and planning permission has also been granted for a 582-student bed development on adjacent land. It is hoped it can help to improve economic growth, research and education in Waterford and the wider south-east region. The move comes 16 years after crystal manufacturing ended at the Kilbarry site. It has been described as taking inspiration from successful international university enterprise quarters such as the University of Nottingham's Innovation Park and the Cortex innovation district in St Louis, Missouri, US. SETU President Professor Veronica Campbell said Glassworks' launch is a 'defining moment for the region and Ireland as a whole'. Advertisement 'Glassworks will play a pivotal role in Ireland's knowledge economy, where students, start-ups and researchers can collaborate, test ideas and create the next generation of ground-breaking products, technologies and businesses,' she said. The first commercial building is being developed with a €43m investment by a joint venture between the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) and Frisby, the Waterford-based developers. Frisby director Noel Frisby Jr said: 'The crystal factory brought Waterford to the world and now Glassworks will bring the world to Waterford. 'This is a place where research, creativity and business ambition can thrive, and where our regional economy will continue to grow.' Building One, the initial 80,000 square foot flagship office building, is expected to open by the end of the year with capacity for 800 employees, Director of ISIF Nick Ashmore said: 'Glassworks will create unique opportunities for both local and international businesses and act as a cornerstone for the south east's future development. 'ISIF's commitment to Building One is an example of its double bottom line mandate at work, investing on a commercial basis in a manner designed to support economic activity and employment in the state. 'This joint venture, as part of ISIF's city-specific investment programme, will support investment in Waterford as well as Cork, Galway, Limerick and Kilkenny, in the form of new places to work, to live and enabling investments to support these regions.'

Pensions of 13,000 civil servants being checked for errors after ‘serious issues' found
A pool of 13,000 retired civil servants as well as current and former Government ministers are to have their pension deductions checked amid 'serious issues' at the State office that handles pension payments. Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers revealed errors at the National Shared Services Office (NSSO) and said that any money owed to the State will be recouped. The affected former civil servants are all people who were in work-share arrangements and not all may be affected. Meanwhile, it is believed that most current Government Ministers will owe money to the State due to errors in their pension deductions, though some may also be due some money back. READ MORE The pension deductions of ministers in previous Governments are also impacted by the issue. People whose pension deductions contained errors are to be contacted while Mr Chambers also announced a number of reviews into the situation. This is a breaking story and will be updated shortly.
