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 two winning proposals in the Your Country, Your Call competition will be announced this evening after the five finalists were put through their paces by the judging panel yesterday.

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.
