Having worked in both the private sector and third level in NI and seeing more recently the success (and challenges) of the burgeoning tech sector in Ireland I have come to the conclusion that the image problem is a core issue… but there are so many positives to lean on for NI…
NI’s economy is either going to need to: activate lots of inactive workers (v difficult), generate a big productivity boost to reduce labour demand (also difficult) attract more higher skilled migrants (has its challenges)

Two Belfast legends knocking out a classic!
Gary Moore and friends performing "Whiskey in the Jar" at the "Tribute to Phil Lynott" concert at The Point Theatre, Dublin, Ireland, 2005. This song is a real classic, and is also famous for the fierce Metallica cover.
