Description
The Armada Hotel in county Clare is to create 100 new jobs, as part of a €3 million redevelopment project of the hotel. The refurbishment and expansion of the hotel, as well as the recruitment, are expected to be completed by February 2022. The recruitment drive is 'The Quest for Ireland's Best'. The hotel has opened its own recruitment agency in a beach hut by the sea at Spanish Point. Thirty of the new roles will be in hospitality.
The project was placed on hold last year due to the pandemic. A new 90-seater restaurant with a sustainable energy kitchen and an ocean bar will be built. There will also be a private dining area for parties.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
