BUSINESSES and community groups in Limerick and the wider mid-west are being asked to participate in what being billed as “among the most exciting projects” seen in Limerick to date on March 25.
Fine Gael Senator Alan Kelly has managed to secure of some of Ireland’s leading business and sporting brains to speak about stimulating jobs growth and business in the region.
Rugby legend, Anthony Foley, will join world leading crisis communications counselor, Declan Kelly as well as a former General Secretary in the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Brendan Tuohy, in putting ideas together for the local area.
They will be joined by Professor Eamon O’Shea, head of economics at NUI Galway and Dennis Ryan, the chairman of the Dell Workers Representative Group with chief economist with Friends First, Jim Power, as the keynote speaker.
However Senator Kelly is hoping that the public can participate in the hopes of propelling “innovative ideas into Government thinking”.
“We all know the Mid-West region is on its knees but here is an opportunity for some positive direct action. Whether you are multi-millionaire or someone who has just lost their job, everybody has something to contribute. And by the way it will not be an exercise in government bashing or making political points; these conferences will be uniquely solutions-focused,” said the senator.
“We are looking for ways to link the general public with the best economic brains available. That is the thinking behind the conference, which will take place on the morning of March 25 at 8:30am at the Thomond Park Conference Centre.”
He called on local people to take the opportunity to interact with the speakers so that the project can reach a successful inclusion.
“Everybody is invited to attend and it is completely free of charge. All you have to do is register your attendance at www.newideas.ie and we can take things from there,” he added.
