Sad and sorry news this week with the announcement to staff at Mayo General Hospital that 150 of its temporary workers are to lose their jobs from September, while the ESB has admitted cutting off supplies to a shocking 900 households per month. Despite having already endured two years of misery since the economic crisis first took hold, this fresh new onslaught suggesting things will continue to get much worse before they get better, is enormously draining. There are some - though they are few and far between - who are happily weathering this recession well and even capitalising on it - having carefully covered their bases in time - and good for them. Indeed, 80 per cent of existing businesses in Ireland today that have managed to stay afloat and successful through these difficult times were actually set up during previous recessionary times - because, apparently, recession equals opportunity for new business.
