PICS: Check Out How We Got On In Limerick At The AIB Start-Up Academy

With the second year of the AIB Start-Up Academy well underway, this week we stopped off in Limerick to meet the budding entrepreneurs and future business elite of Ireland. Leading the speeches on the night was our very own Her.ie and JOE.ie CEO Niall McGarry, who shared his experience and expertise from start-up to managing one of the fastest growing media group in Ireland.
