EKRIUQ

Clean Cash, wow better than dirty money

amacachi

It's a dinosaur from the late Cretaceous Period I believe?

Aidric

That's a filthy idea.

siobhan.murphy

rubbish! cash cleaner??????????

Kenno90

sounds good , i like the english version so the irish version should be good , i'll watch it later (on sky +)

BaZmO*

How very very apt that the first pitch is an idea about how to clean dirty money given the current financial climate.

Rochie IRL

Can I get a portable version for my pocket?? Ultra-violet pants perhaps with germ free air coming up the trouser leg.

EKRIUQ

These boys are just chancers!

Aldebaran

Pair of chancers!

It seems to me that the Irish Dragons are a bit more aggressive than the English Dragons. I lolled when yer wan just said 'who cares?' after the two guys explained their cash cleaning idea.

EKRIUQ

Ontroponurs ??????

j2dab

Funny show alright, why were they asking them normal questions when they already established it was crap.

I dont like Sean Gallagher looks like he is going to be the idiot of the group

dceire

It doesn't really work does it!

BOHSBOHS

Michelle has forgotten the basics of being an ontroponur!

Did nobody spot this during his screen test??

swalsh

How can you be that unprepared going into a sales pitch?? Good Lord

OPENROAD

Early days but not the best so far, Dragons don't come across very well.


The presentation about the drink is terrible..

EKRIUQ

I think she drank too many Boozeberries

adamski8

the camera angles are terrible when the presenter is on, zooming in and out at his head and whats with the moving background!!!!

Mhmm...weetabix

+1 this is painful!

"I thought you were out?"

"No I'm not out"

"Ah all you bald Ontroponurs look the same!"

steof1984

Hmmm, I think it's more Entrippuners. Seriously, did no-one say it to the presenter??

Don't have a TV you say???It's on Channel BBBTE 75 Just beside the naked lady channel

That Sarah Newman with her brit accent is annoying me now.. she's rude, I mean she just got lucky with a website, and got lucky with DJ as well ;-). I don't think she has any right to look down her nose at the "stupid paddys".

Though I would admit the first two presentations were poor.

She may regret that further down the line

I love scientifically proven stress relieving fish!

She is the best of a poor bunch of Dragons imo

RTE1, probably be up on the RTE website in the coming days.

**edit**
Plenty of answers already I see now!

Utopia Parkway

Looks like the state of the economy will be their fallback excuse for the entire series.

Only Irish people allowed on Irish tv

She is not the best but the other Dragons just don't come across very well, though it is only the first show so it might get better.

Aldebaran

That Sean Gallagher fella constantly looks like he's trying to remember where he parked his car.

JonathanAnon

Where's Michael O'Leary.. ?? Could he not have been on the panel?

I dont like your idea, you're probably a member of a union, you're dithering, shut up!

Bit of a squint on him alright.

dceire

Its like an Ugly sister, you know its from the same family but can't understand how!

MementoMori

Cash machine guys = just awful all together, a complete joke

Boozeberries => I thought with a bit of haggling here a deal might have been done. Very nervous in the presentation. Personally I would have very little faith in a CEO who had such a poor grasp of figures.

Aqua Images => Completely the wrong time to be trying this - every business is looking to cut costs. Might have had a chance during the boom years buy not know. Presentation a lot more polished.

Toastie => didn't really give a good idea of what the product was, guy doing the presentation

Mumstown => looks like she wasn't prepared to give up enough of the company

friendface

lol. Hi Keith. I'm Sarah... I'm out :P
