Meanwhile, in a review of Susan Weir’s book – Dublin’s Working Prams – A Photographic Portrait of Dublin Street Traders – Tracy O’Brien writes:
Susan explores the crisis the streets traders lived through in the mid-1980s, as they were deemed a threat by some of the powerful business interests in the city centre. Susan interviews the ladies, who tell stories of being chased down the city’s streets by the Gardaí, as they did not hold licenses for selling from the prams. Some funny anecdotes from these times tell us about ladies hiding in confession boxes to avoid the Gardaí, or drinking tea in the police station when they were arrested and having a great sing song while they waited to be released.

You may have missed this video from American Chamber Ireland from last October which champions their message about US companies and FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Ireland.
No need to cover your face, dude.
Meanwhile, last March:
“We have some superb graduates working for us, but there are others who arrive in and have a sense of entitlement that I wouldn’t have expected to see,” she said. “Whether it’s because they grew up in the boom and perhaps didn’t have to work too hard at that stage I’m not sure, but there is a sense that because they have a degree, then we should be grateful to have them.”
