Joe is joined by Cllr Bridie Collins as they pay tribute to a friend of the show, George Stacpoole, who passed away at the weekend.

Fianna Fáil councillor Bridie Collins wants the Adare Bypass to be extended by another 3km to further alleviate traffic in the area. She believes the current plan will cause even further tailbacks in the area as motorists travelling from the Limerick side will need to stop on a single-carriageway and make a right turn to access the bypass. She wants the Government to look at extending the bypass a further 3km to eliminate this right turn: A Departement of Transport spokesperson says Limerick City & County Council (LC&C) are currently progressing construction of the 7km long bypass of Adare Town, as approved by Government. At the recent contract signing for this scheme, the Minister for Transport requested that LC&C assess the possibility of extending the scheme by 3kms east to the M20 at Attyflin and to prepare a report on same. This work is currently underway, a number of factors need to be as considered as part of this assessment including funding, deliverability, progress and programme and risk, to what is already a very tight timeline for completion. LC&C are currently in detailed discussions with the Contractor and hope to be in a position to submit a report to TII in approx. 3 to 4 weeks. TII will then review and forward on to the Department of Transport for consideration.

Adare, a leading provider of HR and Employment Law support services, has released the findings from its latest HR Barometer Report (9.1), underscoring absenteeism as a critical indicator of overall workplace health and performance. This comes at a time when hybrid work, economic pressures, and escalating employee stress levels are heightening the challenges for organisations. The comprehensive biannual HR Barometer Report offers deep insights into the trends, challenges, and priorities that are shaping the Human Resources landscape across Irish organisations in 2025. It highlights that while organisations are increasingly focusing on employee wellbeing, the anticipated absence rate for 2025 is forecasted to rise to an average of 8.5%. This figure has significant implications for productivity and operational costs. While 79% of organisations have an Employee Assistance Programme as part of health & wellbeing initiatives, only 8% are currently measuring performance as a direct output of wellbeing initiatives, revealing a disconnect between intention and measurable impact. Sarah Fagan, Managing Director at Adare, commented, "While our HR Barometer highlights several areas of concern, the findings around absence management point to a particularly troubling trend. Absenteeism is not simply a standalone issue - it's a key indicator of broader organisational health. Organisations are forecasting a significant average absence rate of 8.5% for 2025. "What deepens the concern is that despite an acknowledged focus on employee health and wellbeing, a mere 8% of organisations currently measure performance as a direct output of these crucial initiatives. As absence rates rise, so too do costs, inefficiencies, and the strain on team performance. Organisations must adopt a more data-driven and integrated approach to managing absence, with a focus on building sustainable performance and long-term resilience." The report also sheds light on the increasing pressures faced by employees - from rising workload demands to heightened stress and anxiety. These factors contribute to burnout and long-term health risks. Additionally, while hybrid working has become the norm, 1 in 2 organisations report challenges in maintaining employee engagement under this model. Other key findings from the HR Barometer 9.1 include: Health, Wellbeing & Absence: Organisations anticipate an average absence rate of 8.5% in 2025. While the focus on employee health and wellbeing is growing, only 8% currently measure performance as a direct output of related initiatives, indicating a potential gap between focus and measurable outcomes. HR Priorities Shift: Talent Retention emerges as the top HR priority for 2025, cited by 43% of organisations, with Employee Engagement and Experience remaining crucial at 40%. Talent Turnover and Costs: Medium-sized businesses reported an average turnover rate of 14.3% in 2024, with the average cost of replacing an employee estimated at €10,125. Rising Conflict Levels: 44% of organisations reported an increase in time spent on managing workplace conflicts. Senior management, on average, spends 29.9 days per year dealing with employee relations issues. Compensation Trends: 72% of organisations plan to increase salaries in 2025, with 21% considering changes to their pay models in response to market pressures and the sustainability of existing pay frameworks. Hybrid Working Practices: Hybrid work continues to be the norm, with employees working an average of 2.6 days in the office. However, 50% of organisations report challenges in maintaining employee engagement with this model. The Adare HR Barometer advocates for a more strategic, data-led approach to absence management, which is integrated within a broader commitment to creating a healthy, high-performing workplace. Through its Healthy Place to Work offering, Adare supports organisations in aligning wellbeing initiatives with measurable outcomes, driving sustainable performance and fosteri...

The National Transport Authority and the Minister for Transport are being urged to intervene, amid complaints over an Ennis bus service said to be in decline. Representatives from Dublin Coach are to be invited to attend a meeting of the county town's elected councillors amid reports of a "growing number of issues" with its Green Bus service from Ennis to Dublin. Starting in Tralee and terminating at Bachelor's Quay in Dublin, Dublin Coach's M7 Express Service operates daily, serving Ennis and Bunratty as well as the likes of Killarney, Adare, Annacotty and Kildare Village. Although it was hailed for its efficiency and value for money when first launched in 2013, there has been a rising number of complaints in recent years relating to punctuality and capacity, as well as alleged "no-show" buses. On foot of these reports, Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard has tabled a motion at this week's Ennis Muncipal District meeting requesting that Dublin Coach representatives are invited to the next meeting to explain the reasons for these issues and outline how they'll be addressed. Councillor Howard says while a shortage of drivers appears to be a problem, solutions must be sought as the service is currently failing those in need of it. The motion received unanimous support in the chamber with Councillor Tom O'Callaghan saying it was a "fantastic service when it started" but has since disimproved and Councillor Paul Murphy claiming people are being "left at the side of the road" on a regular basis. Councilor Tommy Guilfoyle criticised the ownership model of Dublin Coach, which is one of the largest privately-owned public transport companies in Ireland, saying the issues discussed are an inevitable consequence of the "privatisation of public services". As a result of the motion, Dublin Coach will now be contacted with a view to a briefing being set up between them and the Ennis MD councillors. Although a private entity, the company is licensed by the National Transport Authority which operates under the aegis of the Department of Transport. Longtime public transport advocate and Ennis Green Party representative Brigid Ginnity says given this fact, remedying the issues raised is the Government's responsibility.

A new Limerick Gift Card has launched as part of efforts to support local businesses by locking in spending and attracting new spending to the county. Backed by Limerick City and County Council and Limerick Chamber, the gift card is available as either a physical gift card or an e-card that can be added to digital wallets. Cards can be spent in the city and surrounding towns, including Newcastle West, Adare, Abbeyfeale, Kilmallock and Rathkeale. Over 140 businesses, including independent businesses and well-known Irish brands such as Penneys and Brown Thomas, accept the new Limerick Gift Card. John Moran, Mayor of Limerick said: "Local retail businesses are key to a vibrant Limerick. They provide essential shopping and services, employment and broader support in our communities. But it is not a one-way street. They need our support too. A little adjustment by each of us in how we spend this Christmas will make a huge collective difference to them. These innovative cards make that easy for us all! Please think local this year!" The Limerick Gift Card is part of the multi-award winning Town & City Gift Card concept active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Drogheda, Letterkenny, Sligo and Waterford. Over €7 million Town & City Gift Cards were sold in Ireland in 2023, with around 80% of sales to organisations for staff rewards and incentives. Newly launched technology from Miconex allows Irish organisations to distribute digital Limerick Gift Cards to their staff, clients and customers online to multiple participants at once, immediately or on a future date. Liam Dwan, manager of Brown Thomas said it's a card for everyone: "Brown Thomas is located on O'Connell Street at the centre of Limerick's main shopping district and as one of Ireland's leading department stores, we were keen to get involved with the Limerick Gift Card. What's great about the card is the choice on offer. With one card, recipients can go shopping in Limerick's best stores, grab a bite to eat or a coffee, or even stay over. It's a card that caters for everyone." Penneys store manager Noel McNamara adds: "Penneys Limerick is delighted to be collaborating with fellow Limerick businesses on this exciting new gift card for our city and county. People often visit the city for the high street stores, but will stay to discover other businesses too, and this has a positive impact on everyone. We know from our own Penneys gift cards that people spend over and above the value on the cards, all benefiting our local economy and helping Limerick to thrive." Alongside city businesses, a range of Limerick county businesses are participating in the program, like Isobel's Boutique in Adare. Kay Mulcaire is the owner of the store and said the card is straightforward and appealing: "The fact you can buy a digital version of the card which can be added to digital wallets is fantastic. Lots of people pay using their phones now, so it makes supporting local really convenient. It's also ideal for last-minute gifts, as people can buy the digital card online and send it to the recipient in moments. People want to support local, but it has to be easy, and the new Limerick Gift Card is straightforward and appealing." Hospitality businesses including restaurants, cafés and pubs are also accepting the card, like multi-award winning pub Mother Macs on High Street and Upper Denmark Street. Michael McMahon, owner of Mother Macs, said the card provides much-needed support for the hospitality sector: "Supporting local has always been at the heart of what we do at Mother Macs Public House, and the Limerick City Gift Card aligns perfectly with that ethos. It's a simple yet impactful way to champion our city's incredible mix of retailers, hospitality venues, and cultural gems." A range of accommodation providers are also accepting the Limerick Gift Card, like Deebert House Hotel. Margaret O'Sullivan, manager of the hotel, commented: "Nestled at the foothills of the Ballyhoura Mountains, ...

Limerick City and County Council, in partnership with Limerick Chamber, have unveiled plans to introduce a new gift card to encourage shop local in association with local businesses. The new Limerick Gift Card is set to launch before Christmas with an aim of driving footfall and spend in the city and surrounding towns, including Newcastle West, Adare, Abbeyfeale, Kilmallock and Rathkeale. Newly elected Mayor of Limerick, John Moran outlined plans for a shop local initiative in his Mayoral Programme in August. The forthcoming Limerick Gift Card will be available as either a digital or physical gift card, with multiple benefits over paper gift vouchers, including security, friction-less redemptions and quick payment for merchants accepting the cards. The new Limerick gift card will provide tangible investment into a number of sectors including retail, hospitality, leisure and services, benefiting both the day and night time economy. Limerick businesses are encouraged to take part in the programme, which offers a no commission basis. Michelle Gallagher, CEO of Limerick Chamber said the Limerick Gift Card will differentiate itself from other gift cards: "A key USP of the card is the commission free nature of it. Limerick businesses have experience of accepting the national cards that charge commission for every transaction. With the Limerick Gift Card, the business keeps 100% of the transaction, at no additional cost to the purchaser. This is a gift card purely for Limerick which can be spent only with Limerick businesses, and that sets it apart from any other gift card. "This is a great and tax efficient opportunity for employers in the region to support local businesses, by providing the Limerick Gift Card to their employees this year. Every transaction will go a long way in helping local businesses in Limerick." John Moran, Mayor of Limerick said: "The Mayoral Programme set out the plan to improve and invigorate Limerick's shopping districts. That is exactly what the Limerick Gift Card will do, giving people money to spend with Limerick businesses, in person, driving footfall. I am calling on Limerick organisations to unite to develop the Limerick Gift Card. "Once the Limerick Gift Card launches, organisations will have the option of a gift card for Limerick where the money stays right across the county in Limerick, benefiting local businesses. Just in time for Christmas planning." The Limerick Gift Card will be part of the multi award winning Town & City Gift Card concept active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Drogheda, Letterkenny, Sligo and Waterford. Over €7 million Town & City Gift Cards were sold in Ireland in 2023, with around 80% of sales to organisations for staff rewards and incentives. Colin Munro is the managing director of Miconex and said: "It is very easy for Limerick businesses to register to accept the forthcoming Limerick Gift Card using a simple one-time registration process. As the card is Mastercard backed, businesses need no additional equipment, and it's friction-free."

► Join Our Skool-Community: https://understandable.net/join/ (Ad) Are you struggling with the same recurring triggers in your relationships for years? You feel that your partner is not showing their emotions and is holding back, or your partner is too close and doesn't have their own social life. Now, in order to fix this, have you seen couples counselor after couples counselor and yet hardly make any progress? Well, then classical therapy is probably not the solution to your problems. But, there is an alternative, which I see popping up more and more often. And it's called shadow work. Today, I will show you why classic couples counselling is 1) not the right approach for many people who have those conflicts. And 2) is often not even promoting healing of attachment problems. Today's episode is like peeling an onion. We will slowly bring the blind spots of anxious and avoidant attachment to light. And in the end, you will be left with a clear understanding of the core, which displays the actual patterns that are the hidden cause of your triggers. ► Links and Resources: 4 Attachment Styles: https://youtu.be/1S-YK065XLA?si=3srOnSywlQezz1uF Shadow Work on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jung/comments/gnoo76/the_opposite_of_the_shadow/ The Pleasure Principle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasure_principle_(psychology) Download the Free Workbook full of Re-Regulation Resources & Writing techniques: https://understandable.net/book/ (Ad) ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

Bridie Collins, Fianna Fáil Councillor, discusses the JP McManus charity golf Pro-Am tournament.

Tom Sellig is this week's podcast guest - and the CEO of Adare, an amazing pharmaceutical technology company owned by top private equity investors, Thomas H. Lee and Frazier Healthcare. Tom was kind enough to let me sprinkle in a few questions that I often use during actual CEO interviews when Boards ask me to help them assess top prospects. Rising star leaders can listen and learn how authentic CEOs - like Tom - answer these questions in a clear and concise way. The truth is CEOs interview for jobs, just like the rest of us. But understandably, their interview process is quite a bit more rigorous. They go through an intense, multi-faceted assessment process that focuses on leadership potential, culture fit, and the so called ‘intangibles' that company's crave. It's never too early to start thinking about these questions and learning how to tell your story - the good, the bad, and even the ugly - in an honest way that clearly demonstrates your leadership style, strengths and development needs. After all, there's no such thing as a perfect leader. Click on www.imperfectleaders.com for free weekly episodes delivered to your inbox and the opportunity to join live discussions with top leaders.
