Gregory Connor's presentation focuses on a number of key themes – what the effect was of Ireland joining the Euro, and how things may have worked out differently if our banking regulatory system had been stricter. Following with a look at how we might ‘cure our hangover’ Gregory addressed the housing situation, mortgage arrears and how Ireland might get out of debt. This talk was part of 'The Irish Economy. What happened? What next?', a lecture series held in Dublin City Libraries during March 2012. https://soundcloud.com/dublincitypubliclibrary/sets/the-irish-economy-what
