Get a former Dragon to Naas to give tips on how to improve the town

Councillor Sorcha O’ Neill has called on Kildare Co Council to invite an ex Dragon's Den tycoon to Naas to explore how to transform the town for business.

The Sinn Fein politician said Bobby Kerr, famous for his Insomnia chain of cafes, should bring his Winning Back the High Street roadshow.

Cllr O'Neill said that 'in light of the recent amount of business closures' the Council should seek out Mr Kerr 'for advice and a holistic viewpoint on improving our town, its offerings and how we can support businesses.

She added: "We should also contact him with a view to bringing the roadshow called Winning Back the High Street to Naas at some point in the future. Perhaps with a before and after analysis process."
