IIEA cancel Evening with George Lee?

Are we all sick of George Lee yet? Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no. No?

The IIEA has removed an event with George Lee from its site. This popped into my feedreader yesterday via the IIEA events feed.

The IIEA Young Professional Network is a networking group established to

provide young, dynamic, future leaders from different backgrounds including the business and legal communities, the media, the public sector, NGOs and academia, among others, with access to leading thinkers, policy makers and business people from both Ireland and abroad

Bad timing for promoting the event, I guess. The link to the event has now been removed from the IIEA site. Any idea when this event was schedule to happen?

Actually, why did this event need to be canceled? Is it because of the strict RTE policy on balanced political discourse?

An evening with George Lee would be interesting even though he has moved on to greener pastures. Despite the national shitfit on Lee’s resignation that we’re wallowing in, the bigger questions on the economy and the quality of representation still abound. Couldn’t the IIEA event be changed to fit?

    It was due for March 29th at 7pm. Unfortunately it was George Lee who cancelled the event himself not the IIEA. This would have been a great event but I guess this was the week Lee let everybody down.
