Padraig O'Céidigh on The Thursday Interview

Padraig O’Ceidigh is the founder of Aer Arann Express and Aer Lingus Regional, and he is, many would argue, one of Ireland’s finest ever entrepreneurs. Ivan was delighted to welcome him onto this evening's edition of the Hard Shoulder as his Thursday Interview. They talked about his upbringing in Spiddal, his dabbling in teaching, his journey to being a businessman, his foray into politics, and his healthcare recently that nearly killed him.
