Into the lion's den

It's been a very busy week so far, hence the lack of posts. Today we had a government minister out to the institute to take a look at our AIRO project. Tomorrow I'm presenting at the Irish Economy conference in Croke Park. I'm one of the couple of non-economists presenting in what is a kind of who's who of academic economic commentators on Ireland post-crash. There's going to be a live twitter feed #ieconf that will tweet away all day apparently, if you're interested and into that kind of thing. It'll be interesting to see what the economists make of my take on the property market. Oh well, always fun to wander into the lion's den. Back to a book review tomorrow - The Dead Detective by William Heffernan.
