Calling all Businesses: Your chance to promote your Easter Offers and Ranges
|
|
In our next newsletter we'll be running another Spend in Sandyford Campaign
Spend in Sandyford is an awareness campaign aimed at encouraging people working and living in the District to think local, to support enterprises located here and to help fuel growth in our local economy.
Did you know? Every €10 spent locally generates more than €40 of benefit to the District and shopping locally means supporting not just the business itself but also its local suppliers.
So if you have an Easter offer, prize, product or range you'd like us to tell the District about, get in touch. It's free of charge too!
Details to be sent to niamh.egan@sandyford.ie no later than Tuesday March 21st

EU adopts additional trade sanctions in response to situation in Ukraine
|
|
On February 24th, the European Union adopted additional sanctions in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These sanctions build on, and expand on, earlier sanctions.
This 10th package includes the following elements:
- Further extension of the list of restricted items which might contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancement, or the development of its defence and security sector.
- An extension of the list of restricted items which might contribute to the enhancement of Russia’s industrial capabilities.
- An extension of the lists of items which generate significant revenues for Russia.
- A prohibition on the transit of dual-use goods and firearms via the territory of Russia to third countries.
- A prohibition on Russian nationals from serving on governing bodies of Member States' critical infrastructure companies.
EU sanctions regulations have direct effect in all Member States of the EU, and, as such, are legally binding on all natural and legal persons in Ireland. Private companies have an obligation to ensure that they are in full compliance with these new measures. A person who contravenes a provision of an EU sanctions regulation shall be guilty of an offence and liable to prosecution.
Other provisions are included on the full list of sanctions, which can be found on the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment webpage: https://tinyurl.com/y862hdwv
