‘Make Ireland the best place in the world to do small business’…words former Taoiseach Enda Kenny said at the opening of the DCU National Center for Family Business in 2013. Nice to hear him repeat those words today at the Original Irish Hotels @OriginalIrishHt @DCU

Family businesses are the heartbeat of Ireland. A great example of family firms embedded in our communities are our Irish hotels. I was delighted to speak today at the Original Irish Hotels annual conference today. @DCU @DCUNCFB @OriginalIrishHt

We regularly hear about the social contributions of family firms. It was great to listen to Maurice Healy, Chairman of Healy Group, on what social contribution means to his family business and the allocation of 20% of pre-tax profits to social causes. @DCUNCFB @DCU @HealyGroup

I know when I started on my PhD journey, the question of “What is a family business?” was one I long grabbled with. Vanessa Diaz, Teresa Hogan, Martina Brophy and I have written a paper which I hope will assist those on their PhD journey.  doras.dcu.ie/29223/1/Book%2…

Great to see a family business leader, Eamonn Quinn, speak at the DCU Leadership Circle Dinner. Thanks for flying the flag for Irish family businesses Eamonn.

We regularly hear that family firms are the dominant form of organising globally. But here is a recent study showcasing the contribution of family firms to the GDP of countries across the globe. Fascinating insights.  visualcapitalist.com/family-owned-b…

Really interesting chat with Richard Curran of RTE The Business. Great insights from Vincent Carton on the highs and lows of succession in family firms.

I’m here at RTE Radio to talk about Family Business Succession. Hope to speak about succession processes in family firms in Europe but also some of the unique aspects of family firms across Asia.

Feeling privileged to be in such prestigious scholarly company on this paper on family entrepreneurship research. Paper entitled "A multi-voiced account of family entrepreneuring research: expanding the agenda of family entrepreneurship" can be read online via open access.

Female entrepreneur, Liavan Mallins, with our final year NED students. During her keynote, Mallins spoke about resilience and the learnings from sport. A gifted athlete, she set the world hand gliding record by gliding for 7.5hrs, at a height of 18,000 feet for 132 miles.

Delighted to welcome Liavan Mallins to DCU Business School. Liavan delighted a fascinating story about female entrepreneurship to our New Enterprise Development module.

Excited to deliver a keynote talk today on Succession Intentions at the Family Business Awards in the Mansion House Dublin. This national study is working with University College Cork, University of Limerick, and Ulster University. In partnership with AIB.

The 2nd in a series of guest speakers #Entrepreneur #Businessman and @eDesk CEO @RayNolan shared his business experiences, tips and lessons learned with @BusinessDCU students this morning.

Important research coming from @WeAreTUDublin @DCU on succession progresses in Irish family firms, especially insightful findings for female members. @MartinaBrophy @MauraMcadam @DCUNCFB

Great to see our research on Necessity Entrepreneurship published at Academy of Management Annals. This important study will shed new light on what we know about those engaging in entrepreneurship out of necessity in both the developing and developed world.

Delighted to have won the Entrepreneurship Education Excellence Award at the ICSB Global Congress in South Korea. @BusinessDCU @DCUNCFB
