On Tuesday, our Level 6 students had the chance to pick the brains of some local entrepreneurs about setting up and running a business. As part of their Entrepreneurship module, a panel discussion was organized to highlight to students what it takes to run a business, the skills and resources needed, and the challenges they may face.

A huge thanks to Paul Molloy Boora Bainne Milk Company, Ray Dunne from Quarrymount Meats, and Kevin Dooley from Dooley's Wool for taking the time to come and speak to the students!
