Following a two-year hiatus RTÉ One’s hugely successful Dragons’ Den will return to Irish TV screens for series seven with some brand new Dragons! …Ireland is finally turning a corner and getting back on its feet…If you are one of these new start ups, or indeed already operating successfully and looking to expand or you feel you have a lucrative business idea and could use financial backing then it’s time to enter the Den. You can apply online here until December 22…..

I’d like to see how many of the former Dragons have hit severe financial trouble or have gone bust. Seemed to be more a case of getting free advertising for their business/themselves as a concept rather than ever investing.
If you’ve been beneficial to the powers that be, I’ve no doubt you are ok
Did yer man Niall (Blacktie) go bust?
He didn’t have the best rep within the trade, yet he sat there with stacks of cash in front of him ‘investing’ in others. He infuriated a lot of people.
Was once stuck beside him at a wedding, what a bore.
God awful program. People don’t watch it for the success stories, they watch it to see ordinary people take a tongue lashing from psychopaths. A kinda fully clothed Embarrassing Bodies if you will. Not for me thanks.
That’s a perfect description.

Bullseye!
In me hoop
hahha
So much this!
Bigger egos than those on the UK version…. but none of them to date have ever mustered an ounce of charm or wit to make it watchable.
So……… no thanks, I’m out.
Do we not have 5 matching armchairs in the country?
I do enjoy watching genuinely creative people prostrate, abase and humilate themselves in front of smug, fat capitalists.
I despise shows like this but If the applicants get something concrete out of it – raised profile or genuine venture capital – then what harm?
What, give my idea away to some bunch of Irish business types who’ll rip it off and leave me with nothing?
Yeah right.
If you have a good business prospect and need finance, you go to a bank.
…and rob it.
Just check first that’s it’s not a sperm bank.
Took me a while to live that one down.
I’m going ta apply to be one’a the Dragons ?
