Yanis Varoufakis says Finance Ministers aren’t always boring!

Irish Water and other fiascos – why should public utilities be privatised?

That’s a question being posed at the Kilkenomics Festival this evening.

It will be discussed by the likes of Constatin Gurgdiev, Economics Lecturer Stephen Kinsella and comedian Dermot Whelan at the Hole in the Wall from 6.

Cleeres hosts a talk on The Economics of Marriage at 8 and Set Theatre will hold a discussion on Why the Rich are getting Richer.

Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis was the big attraction at the opening event last night.

At a press conference before his sell out show he told our KCLR Reporter Ciara Phelan that the perception that Finance Ministers are boring isn’t always true.
