Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Unemployment and Youth Unemployment: Discussion

3:40 pm

Mr. Liam Griffin:

I am part of the alumni and was chairman of a grouping that has been working hard trying to do things for which there is no reward. For example, we are taking on all of County Wexford and I am making sure we get into every secondary school this year to talk about entrepreneurship. That is a small step and we are going to do that with each of us telling our own story. We have groupings from the mid-20s through to people in their 70s in the alumni and they are exceptional and wonderful people with some great ideas, some of whom have failed but have great ideas as well. On behalf of the alumni, I can say we will make ourselves available to speak to anybody in private as a grouping at any stage if we can offer anything that will help our country, with no fanfare, talk or cost.
