6th Yr Economics Guest Speaker
He outlined the importance of the foreign direct investment to the Irish economy.
He gave a concise summary of the latest figures and information from Census 2011.
It was based on a presentation given to our policy makers in the houses of the Oireachtas in February.
We were grateful for his time and excellent presentation which held the attention of the 6th year economics class for the double class. All concurred it to being an excellent delivery of economic material appropriate to June exams.
