An outline of the causes of the economic crisis in Ireland and how the Government was dealing with them was given in an off-the-record address to the AEJ on March 3 by Dr Alan Ahearne, Advisor to the Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan TD.
There was a large attendance at the lunch, the first of 2010. AEJ chair Eileen said she was delighted to introduce some new members including RTE’s Economics Correspondent Séan Whelan and former RTE and BBC journalist Cathy Grieve.
