Kilkenomics contributors hail the Kilkenny event as the “Best economic forum on earth … ever”

Kilkenomics is in full flight following a great start in Kilkenny.

The opening night of the annual mix of economics and comedy saw Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform of Ireland Paschal Donohoe among the contributors:

Great to be part of the #Kilkenomics Festival this evening in Kilkenny. Lots of great shows scheduled for the weekend. Really enjoyable discussion with @colmoregan about serious issues in a lighthearted way. Great event. With thanks to @naoisen & @davidmcw pic.twitter.com/MDJdOij6MF
