The recent news about the BioScience & Technology Institute in Belfast which received £2m of funding from InvestNI folding made me very cross and I wonder what will be the outcome of the investigation. Compare this http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=680054 to this http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/business/story.jsp?story=204734 As a local business owner who was forced to bootstrap his own company, I'm not surprised.

Too busy on trade missions I guess. Colin Walsh’s comments about exit strategies made me laugh.
