As part of this week’s show I had the pleasure of being at the National Student Enterprise Awards in Croke Park. Young entrepreneurs from across the country gathered to show off their business skills and, more importantly, their ideas.

What was apparent from the outset was that given the chance, teenagers can provide us with innovative ideas and a very real money-making business.
