BILLED as a project that would “transform our economy”, the two successful Your Country Your Call projects have hired just a single member of staff, over a year after the two winners were announced.

TWO ideas for the digital age won out in the Your Country Your Call competition, which concluded with a glitzy prize-giving ceremony at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last night.

Your Country, Your Call, was a competition designed to encourage the thinking and creativity of people in order to come up with a couple of major proposals that would help transform our economy by generating jobs and creating opportunities. The competition attracted 9,000 submissions.

THE competition to find a new idea which will help boost the nation’s economy has been whittled down to five finalists, it emerged yesterday.
