A number of "locals' are organising BizCamp Limerick in order to stimulate people to start up their own business.

It's near a significant international airport, there's fuck-all else happening in the area to compete for labour, there's a Proper university nearby and it's almost as far as you can possibly get from the central government while ticking the other boxes. And didn't HP, the original Valley company, split from a floundering existing engineering co? I'm not saying it's *likely*, mind... Well, it has a few similarities with Early-Valley.

That'd put a stop to 'em. Maybe the solution would be that anybody who’s on a ‘task force’ would need to be decked out in lycra for the duration. That’d put a stop to ‘em.

Have you heard the Mid-west Authority (www.mwa.ie) set out its remit for the Limerick region? Would you expect the MWA or the Limerick CEB to be connected to any Irish social network? Should new start-ups be given State grants without tax compliance certificates? We're chatting about some of these issues at Limerick OpenCoffee. Nice post with a few questions arising.
