Kodaline’s entrepreneurial spirit

KODALINE, who are currently on their UK and European Tour, took time out of their busy schedule to help the Fingal Local Enterprise Office (LEO) announce details of the Student Enterprise Awards National Finals, which take place in Croke Park on April 22.

Co-ordinated by the LEOs in every county, the competition is the most successful student enterprise programme of its kind in the country.

Two members of Kodaline, lead singer Steve Garrigan and lead guitarist Mark Prendergast, set up their own student enterprise 10 years ago in Colaiste Choilm, Swords, selling music lessons.

The group members are all past-pupils of participating schools and over 17,000 teenage entrepreneurs from 370 second-level schools take part annually.
