The Minister of State for the Diaspora and International Development, Ciarán Cannon T.D., has published a new report on Addressing Challenges Faced by Returning Irish Emigrants.

This independent report prepared by Indecon was commissioned by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade with the goal of identifying solutions to disproportionate or unnecessary administrative burdens affecting Irish emigrants wishing to return to live in Ireland. The findings of this report will help inform the Government’s ongoing work on making returning to Ireland as easy as possible.

Speaking at the time of the report’s launch Minister of State Cannon said:

“I am pleased to be able to publish this independent report which contains new research profiling the welcome return of Irish emigrants, examining the challenges they have faced on returning home; and importantly, making recommendations to address those challenges.

In a world of increased international mobility and an increasingly global labour market, it is imperative that the Government facilitates the mobility of our citizens; that we enable them to travel abroad, continue engagement with them while they are living abroad, and most importantly, make it as easy as possible for them to return home.”

Neumann Finance Co., an equipment leasing subsidiary of Beneficial Bank that was formed in November with two leading industry veterans, has leased space at 123 S. Broad St. in Philadelphia and has plans to add a more than 200 jobs over the next two to three years.

Neumann looked at 20 different locations and debated between South Jersey or Center City. It eventually signed a 10-year lease on 21,695 square feet on the 17th floor at the South Broad building. It has options to expand and renew. Anne Klein of Newmark Knight Frank represented the company in its search. SSH Real Estate of Philadelphia owns 123 S. Broad.

Neumann, which is in its startup phase, is for now operating out of a small office in Moorestown, N.J., where CEO Daniel Dyer and President George Pelose are building out the company’s executive team.
