Willie Walsh: Stop crying and ‘get on with it’

STOP crying and get on with it — was the message to Irish people from British Airways chief executive, Willie Walsh, who said Ireland is not encouraging people to start businesses.

He said entrepreneurship is a potential for our salvation adding that it’s a “terrible shame” that a lot of entrepreneurs succeed when they leave Ireland.

“We’ve got great people with great ideas that just have to have a bit of confidence, be brave but they need some support,” he said.
