Irish economic optimism

Available for over a year

Ireland is one of the most indebted economies in Europe but are there upsides to the downturn? Justin Rowlatt speaks to Barry O'Leary of the Irish Development Agency who is surprisingly optimistic in the face of Ireland's dire economic headlines. We also interview Padraig O'Ceidigh of Aer Arann who describes the difficulties his business has faced in recent years and why he is also optimistic about Ireland's prospects. Finally we hear from Kenya about what it can learn from the experiences of one of Europe's more successful economies, Holland.
