Aspiring entrepreneurs will be rushing to update their CVs and dust off their power suits, with the news that hit series ‘The Apprentice’ is once again looking for willing victims.
“The second series takes place in a different world, an Ireland where the Celtic Tiger has gone and left us with an economy in serious difficulties,” said Bill Cullen, speaking at the launch yesterday.
The Dubliner, famed for his aggressive boardroom style, said the Government should take a leaf out of his book to help speed up recovery. “Fianna Fail is very unpopular at the moment, and they’re probably well aware they won’t be re-elected. “So if I was them, I would use this chance to make some hard decisions and take some tough action in the public sector — people won’t thank them for it, but they have nothing to lose now,” said Mr Cullen. He stressed that a positive attitude is crucial.
The second series of ‘The Apprentice’ will air in the autumn and those interested have until May 8 to lodge an application.
