Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Unemployment and Youth Unemployment: Discussion

3:40 pm

Mr. Frank O'Keeffe:

I will leave the last word to Mr. Griffin. I thank the committee for inviting us to the meeting. The entrepreneurial voice is really strong and growing in Ireland and we need to embrace it as much as we can. There needs to be a better balance and beacon of light for hope in Ireland. The time is now and we would do anything to support this initiative within my firm but, more important, with the alumni from our entrepreneur of the year programme.
