“...There is very little published on the topic of ethnic entrepreneurship in Ireland because the issue is relatively new to the country. Therefore any publication that sheds light on this area is warmly welcomed by a wide range of stakeholders. However, what makes Niamh’s work uniquely interesting is that the topic of networking within ethnic entrepreneurship, has an international appeal.”
- —Dr Thomas Cooney, Academic Director of the Institute of Minority Entrepreneurship, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland “This research makes a significant contribution to the area of entrepreneurship, specifically to networking practices of migrant entrepreneurs. It highlights the under-utilisation of informal networking in the Irish context, the poor involvement of formal networks and the reluctance of migrant entrepreneurs to participate in networking. The study is interesting as it explores networking in an Irish context, a relatively new phenomenon particularly in comparison to other countries such as Canada, Australia, the UK, Europe and the US.”
