Joining Emmet Oliver to discuss is:
Roy Curtis, Sportswriter & Columnist for The Irish Daily Star and The Irish Mirror

David Kelly, Chief Sports Analysis Writer with the Irish Independent

Alanna Cunane, Sportswriter with the Irish Independent

Down to Business has a long association with the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and that will continue this year. This year’s awards programme has just been launched, and joining Emmet Oliver to discuss is Roger Wallace, Head of Assurance and EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Ireland.
