Mary Hanafin was worse. Does she really think that all the construction & assembly line workers are going to upskill for R&D!? Come on, Nell was no worse. Nell certainly gave me a laugh when she said she should have put her money on a horse than into a pension fund.
I nearly threw something at the TV when she kept saying this. The Government has not put any sort of proper resources into R&D so I don't know why they think it will suddenly save us. Universities are struggling for funding, I know PhD students who are struggling to get any sort of funding, the roll out of IT in schools has been abysmal. Maths and science results are poor and universities are struggling to attract candidates in these areas. Our Broadband infrastructure is so far behind the rest of Europe, it is not funny. A couple of small job creation annoucements is not going to make up for the job losses seen in construction and financial services.
Wonder how Nell's hedge funds are getting on today. I presumed she was drunk to be honest.
