The Business
A weekly look at the world of business and personal finance with Richard Curran
Brexit Analysis and Food Producers
We're joined by Chris Haskins, former chairman of Northern Foods, former 'Rural Tsar' for Tony Blair's government and a member of the house of Lords; Seamus McMahon, a dairy farmer and owner of Brehon Brewhouse in Monaghan; and Valerie Kingston, Co-owner and Founder of Glenilen Farm.
Negotiating a Deal
Negotiating a deal is tricky. It goes far beyond saying the right words, it's sometimes even down to how you present yourself. Louise Campbell, Managing Director of Robert Walters, a recruitment consultancy, is here to give some tips as to how to get what you want in a deal.
Kingston Mills
Details of the vaccine roll out are due to be announced next week. Covid has been shining a light on the work done by scientists like our next guest Kingston Mills, director of Trinity's Biomedical Sciences Institute.
Pandemic Designs
The last major global pandemic, the so called Spanish Flu ushered in a new era in terms of design. Trevor Vaugh from the Department of Design Innovation at Maynooth University tells us what new designs we can expect post Covid.
Virtual Santa
One design that we won't want to keep is this winter's Santa appearance behind a perspex screen. Liam Geraghty has been chatting to some businesses that are helping Santa this year to deal with his more public Christmas appearances.
When I Grow Up
From Scientists and Doctors to fairies and Elves, Irish children tell us what they want to be when they grow up.
