Those who understand new delivery and ownership models (e.g. for-profit RPs, JVs) will unlock huge opportunities. The new Building Safety Regime is a major bottleneck.

Vodafone Ireland has announced the launch of Real-Time Text (RTT), a breakthrough accessibility service designed to improve emergency communications for the Deaf and hard of hearing community. Vodafone Ireland is the first mobile operator in Ireland to introduce RTT, reaffirming its commitment to inclusive, barrier-free digital communication and connection. The service is now available for emergency calls following pilot tests on the Vodafone network supported by BT ECAS and ComReg. New Service for Deaf and Hard of Hearing RTT is a next-generation messaging technology that enables text to be transmitted instantly, character by character, while maintaining a voice connection - eliminating the need to press "send." This creates a more natural, fluid communication experience, particularly for deaf, hard of hearing, and speech-impaired users. Vodafone Ireland customers using both Android and iOS devices can now activate Real-Time Text (RTT) directly via their handset accessibility settings. Once enabled, RTT allows users to send and receive text instantly during a call - making communication more accessible, especially for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Crucially, RTT is fully compatible with Ireland's Emergency Call Answering Service, allowing users to communicate directly with 112 or 999 in real time. This capability can be lifesaving in urgent situations where every second counts. Approximately 5%, almost 270,000, of the Irish population reports a hearing impairment, according to latest Census data. With the European Accessibility Act coming into effect last month, the need for inclusive digital communication has never been more urgent and RTT is a vital step forward in ensuring equal access for all, especially in critical services like emergency response. The RTT service is natively supported on smartphones that meet international accessibility standards. These devices allow character-by-character text transmission during voice calls, without requiring third-party apps or additional hardware. This ensures that users can communicate directly and immediately in emergency situations and in everyday interactions. Commenting as the service was launched today, Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport Patrick O'Donovan T.D. said: "The introduction of Real-Time Text by Vodafone Ireland marks a significant milestone in our national journey towards digital equality. As the European Accessibility Act comes into force, it is heartening to see Irish tech leaders stepping up with meaningful innovation which instantly improves lives. Most importantly, RTT empowers people who are deaf or hard of hearing to access emergency services with the same immediacy and simplicity as anyone else. This is not just a technological advancement - it is a statement of inclusion, of equality and our shared commitment to building a digital society with universal access. The RTT service is already available on the majority of Vodafone smartphones in Ireland right now, meaning the opportunity to make inclusive communication the norm is already in our hands. I encourage not only the Deaf and hard of hearing community, but the wider public also to embrace RTT. By making it part of our everyday communication and help ensure it becomes a turning point for real inclusion in a more connected society - one where everyone has the tools to engage, contribute and to be heard." Welcoming the launch, Chief Executive of Vodafone Ireland, Sabrina Casalta, said: "At Vodafone Ireland, we're committed to keeping everyone connected - our mission is to ensure digital access and connectivity for everyone, everywhere. RTT represents a significant step forward in digital accessibility, especially in emergency scenarios where real-time communication can save lives. We are proud to be the first in Ireland and one of the leaders in Europe to bring this innovative service to market, that we believe can change lives for the better. The RTT launch has been developed in pa...

My guest today, Steve Durbin, shares why empathy, agility, and resilience are vital to managing risk and keeping your organization secure. Steve shares the biggest threats to organizations right now and how empathetic leaders foster the resiliency needed to adapt. We discuss how CISO's and risk officers can create an empathetic culture where trust and transparency flow to help protect the organization. Steve shares how letting go of control can keep you safer, and how curiosity and listening help you communicate in ways people understand. He candidly shares that CEOs who don't understand empathy are a risk. And finally, Steve offers ways to balance a culture of experimentation and empowerment with effective risk management. To access the episode transcript, please scroll down below.Key Takeaways:When assessing risk, people are your greatest risk, but they are also your greatest asset and your greatest opportunity for solutions. It is not the machine or the algorithm that will solve your risk problem; it is your people. You risk losing your best people if you're not willing to adapt to what needs to be done for the best of your organization, employees, clients, and other stakeholders. "You increase awareness by explaining why people need to be aware, why they should care, and you may have to make it personal." — Steve DurbinFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

The Government's aiming to strike a balance between cutting red tape and keeping people safe on work sites. Officials are consulting with the construction sector on changing rules on scaffolding. Workplace Relations and Safety Minister, Brooke van Velden, says over-compliance makes jobs cost more - and take more time. Building Industry Federation chief executive Julien Leys says health and safety is important to the sector, and a balance needs to be struck. "Everyone hates scaffolding as much as they hate road cones, but we shouldn't forget that that scaffolding is there for a reason and any height can be dangerous."

An award winning retailer has praised the county's local gift card for its ease of use and commission free nature after enjoying a bumper 6 months of sales through the card. Second generation family run business Moran's Menswear opened its doors in 1970 and celebrates 55 years in business in 2025. The menswear retailer joined the Love Tipperary Gift Card when it launched in November 2024, with over €5,000 of gift cards spent in the store in 6 months. The Love Tipperary Gift Card is backed by County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council, with 300 businesses accepting the card. Both physical and digital versions of the card are available. Moran's Menswear was founded in 1970, moving to its current shop in Thurles in 2020 before the first lockdown. In the past 5 years, the retailer has tripled the size of the store, added a private wedding room and won the Drapers award for Best Independent Menswear across Ireland and the UK. Diarmuid Moran, owner of Moran's Menswear, said the Love Tipperary Gift Card supports their ethos as a business: "We're proud supporters of the independent sector and the power of shop local. If a person shops with Amazon that money is leaving Ireland but if you buy local it stays local and gets reinvested in the economy through jobs and the support local businesses provide to community projects and clubs. The Love Tipperary Gift Card is all about encouraging people to shop local and providing support for local businesses, so we are very happy to be a part of it. I think it's a great initiative for Tipperary. "One of the main benefits of the Love Tipperary Gift Card is the fact that it's commission free. For example, I had a One4All Gift Card in the store today for €100 and I gave €12 of that to One4All in commission. In comparison, accepting the Love Tipperary Gift Card is 100% commission free. Another major benefit is the ease of use. I can swipe the physical version while the digital version is added to the recipient's digital wallet so they can 'tap to pay'. "We've accepted over €4,000 of Love Tipperary Gift Cards since the initiative launched in November 2024, and I think that is down to the ease of use for merchants accepting the card and recipients spending it. Moran's Menswear is a destination store which caters to a broad market, from 15 years of age upwards, so when people come into the store to spend their Love Tipperary Gift Card they could be buying anything from branded items to wedding attire, shoes to accessories. "It's our aim to make every customer feel welcome, so when they are spending their Love Tipperary Gift Card at Moran's, they're receiving the best individualised service. One thing I've noted is that when customers have the Love Tipperary Gift Card to spend they tend to trade up and spend more on top of the Gift Card value." Diarmuid encourages local organisations to consider using the cards as rewards, and urges businesses who are not currently accepting the card to register: "The Love Tipperary Gift Card is a positive initiative for Tipperary and is ideal for organisations to use as rewards because it is a tangible way they can show support for their community. I'd like to see the Love Tipperary Gift Card becoming even more embedded within the community, and more organisations using the cards for rewards, ringfencing reward spend into County Tipperary. "For local businesses in County Tipperary, it's very simple. If you're not part of the Love Tipperary Gift Card then people are not going to visit your business to spend their cards with you. As a business, you have to keep reinventing and moving forwards, and that includes participating in positive community initiatives that benefit the community like the Love Tipperary Gift Card. €5,000 of additional spend in just over 6 months is a positive for any independent business." Michelle Aylward, Chief Executive at County Tipperary Chamber said: "We introduced the Love Tipperary Gift Card as a means to provide tangible suppor...

Clare and I shared a stage at Quirk's London in May, and we were reflecting on the amount of disruption in the corporate Insight world at this moment. Reorganisations, budget freezes, headcount cuts, senior roles disrupted… we're seeing it all.And – spoiler alert for next week's roundtable episode – I personally don't think this period of change is going to end any time soon.In this environment, it's particularly important to reflect on our Insight team's output, because it's the output that you will usually be known for. It's what will largely dictate other departments' views of Insight itself and the role we could play.Clare is a great advocate for ‘Insight productisation'; identifying our core outputs, structuring them, packaging them, branding them, using test and learn to see how they land, then developing a comm's plan to encourage more stakeholders to engage with them. She has also always had KPIs in place to measure each Insight product's success – usually its return on investment. Topics DiscussedInsight teams and product optimisation (00:09)Transforming Insight teams through productisation (08:50) Product differentiation (15:19) Strategic Insight management for impact (20:40) The future of Insight teams (28:39)  Highlights“Businesses are constantly having to anticipate change. Now they're having to think forward. They're having to react quickly, get on the front foot and navigate change, and COVID made that business as usual.” (05:14)“Another part of my role was developer cap innovation, so we were quite specific on exactly what we were doing, what the products were and how we were taking best practice from design, research and various other things agile work to productize what we needed to deliver.” (14.51)“So it was initially targeted at the board, but then that became the consistent knowledge base and fact pack for the rest of the business and it was a Halo product because the KPIs that had been identified within it were then the things that we tracked and we reported onto the business on a monthly basis.” (21.14)“I think my other advice would be to embrace AI and use it to empower you. There is nothing more empowering than being able to do insight faster, quicker and enabled by tech.” (25.52) Please listen to find out more! This is episode 75 of the Transforming Insight podcast. If you have the ambition to transform your Insight team and the role it plays in your organisation, please tune in to future episodes.

So where does Australia go from here?

Andrew Copson speaks to actor, writer, and Humanists UK patron Stephen Fry about his life and career, touching on everything from his concerns that near-universal perspectives on equality could be under threat from prejudiced AI models, to the intriguing paradox of human behaviour in relation to the individual vs the mass. He delves into our innate moral sense of right and wrong, as well as the value of uncertainty. Please note: there are some quality issues with Andrew's audio. What I Believe was the title of two separate essays by the philosopher Bertrand Russell and the philosopher EM Forster in the early 20th century.

Humanists UK is the national charity working on behalf of non religious people to advance free thinking and promote a tolerant society.

It's an ambitious plan and one with a lot of ambition and a lot of unknowns. James Gallagher discusses the plans with Sarah Woolnough, Chief Executive of The King's Fund, an independent think tank working to improve health and care across England, and Sally Gainsbury, Senior Policy Analyst at the Nuffield Trust, specialising in evidence-based research on health and social care provision in the UK.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being touted as a way to improve efficiency and save money in the 10 Year Plan and every day in healthcare there are headlines about new AI-driven tools that could revolutionise medicine. In a new mini-series, James hears about different ways AI is being used starting with heart scans that use AI to analyse large amounts of data to predict health outcomes in a way that would be near impossible for a human to achieve. He talks to Dr Arunashis Sau from the National Heart & Lung Institute at Imperial College, London.Also, with a 200-year-old condom made from a sheep's insides attracting crowds to the Rijksmuseum in The Netherlands, James finds out about the history of condoms with cultural historian Dr Kate Stephenson.Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Tom Bonnett Additional production: Ella Hubber Editors: Glyn Tansley and Martin Smith
