The Dublin Economics Workshop will hold its annual economic policy conference at the Hodson Bay Hotel in Athlone October 16th and 17th next. Proposals in any area of economic policy are invited and should be forwarded, ideally before September 4th, to both of the following: charles.larkin@gmail.com and colm.mccarthy@ucd.ie.
Programme and booking details will be circulated in due course. The Dublin Economics Workshop is kindly sponsored by Dublin Chamber of Commerce.

After last year’s poorly attended effort in Cork, perhaps it’s time to have a decent burial of this event that appears to have outlived its usefulness – or will the well-heeled Jackeens find their way to Athlone when they struggled to set the satnav for Cork?. In any event, a slightly more restrained variation of the group-think, greed and stupidity that infected the property, banking and financial sectors and subverted fiscal policy prior to 2008 has taken hold again. As we head in to an election who gives a damn about economic policy?
