ePower is to supply over 20 shopping centres across 14 counties nationwide with high speed EV charging points, following a partnership agreement with Lanthorn, which manages a portfolio of over €1.6bn of property throughout Ireland. Rollout will begin in 2025, and the sites where chargers will be installed include Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, as well as busy urban areas like Navan, Dundalk, Mullingar, Athlone, Maynooth, Portlaoise and Kilkenny. ?ePower is working closely with Lanthorn in association with their project managers, KSNPM. ePower has been selected following a competitive process, which took into account the company's ability to offer high speed charging facilities, tailored specifically to each site, and crucially, the assurance that the sites would be maintained and serviced by ePower's 24/7 help desk, field engineering and remote management. Commenting on the development, John O'Keeffe, CEO of Power, said: "We're very proud to be part of the drive towards making electric vehicles a better choice for consumers. The rollout and delivery of chargers, be it through public or private partnerships, is key to this. Through this partnership with Lanthorn, ePower plans to have super-fast chargers installed at shopping centres around Ireland, from Donegal to Cork and many places in between; it's a great expansion for us in what's been a hugely successful year of growth." It's been a busy year for ePower; the company recently joined forces with Dublin's local authorities to bring online up to 200 fast chargers across the region in 2025. The initial phase of the project will see ePower's high-speed chargers installed at more than 40 Dublin locations across the four Dublin local authorities. The company also won six of 17 government contracts for the rollout of new high-speed electric car charging hubs across Ireland, due to be operational by the end of 2025.

In this episode, Niall examines a contentious development in Athlone, where local representatives mounted a successful High Court challenge against a Ministerial Order aimed at rapidly expanding refugee accommodations. The State conceded, declaring the project an “unauthorised development.” This case raises a fundamental question: If local communities say "not in our area," who decides where refugees live?Niall speaks to Cllr. Paul Hogan to get an update on the situation and to understand what the court's decision means for the community and the refugees involved. With these new legal developments in mind, we ask whether the voices of local residents should dictate who settles in their area.Some callers argue that the concerns of local residents should be taken seriously. They stress that communities understand their own limitations—whether it's housing availability, schools, healthcare services, or general infrastructure. For them, it's not about opposing refugees; it's about ensuring adequate support and resources for everyone.Others believe that turning refugees away, especially after they have fled conflict or hardship, is not acceptable. They insist that every community should do its part and that compassion should guide policy. If each area refuses to host newcomers, where can vulnerable individuals go? The government and local authorities need to find a balance that respects local concerns without abandoning people in need.Niall closes by reflecting on the complexities of balancing local input, resource allocation, and moral obligations, leaving listeners to decide where fairness and responsibility truly lie.

Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease and DHL Global Forwarding Freight today announced a new partnership to commence Ireland's first sustainable fuel deliveries using Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for the pharmaceutical industry. By converting to HVO fuel, the two companies are aiming to reduce annual Greenhouse Gas (GHG) from road freight by up to 90% compared to GHG emissions associated with deliveries using diesel. The partners have identified multiple transport routes within Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Europe, which will all convert from diesel to HVO to deliver medicines manufactured in Alexion's sites in Athlone and Blanchardstown, Dublin. HVO will be used in DHL's vehicles on more than 500 deliveries, on an annual basis to 10 countries. Produced from biomass such as used cooking oils and waste from food manufacture, HVO is a drop-in fuel, meaning it can be used within existing vehicles without compromising operational performance, removing the need for new infrastructure or fleet. Reducing the GHG emissions associated with the transport of medicinal products is an important part of AstraZeneca's wider sustainability strategy. This includes a focus on partnerships across the healthcare sector to accelerate the delivery of net-zero health systems, including supply chain decarbonisation. AstraZeneca has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 98% from 2015 base year.[i] From 2030, the aim is to halve the entire value chain footprint (absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions), from a 2019 base year, on the way to becoming science-based net zero by 2045. Sylvia Kiely Vice President - Global Supply Chain and Product Strategy Lead, Alexion AstraZeneca Rare Disease said: "Today's announcement with DHL to move from Diesel to HVO fuel is another milestone in our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, and dependency on fossil fuels within our global supply chain in relation to Scope 3. By working with our partners to extend eco-conscious practices to our full freight network, we can further minimise our environmental impact and dependency on fossil fuels within our global supply chain." Maurice Meade, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Freight, Ireland, said: "This is another step in the right direction as we strive to run more sustainable operations for our customers that reduce the inherent Greenhouse emissions in transporting goods. We are delighted to see Alexion be one of the trailblazers to make this significant switch in approach and thereby follow-up on their sustainability goals with clear actions. This initiative perfectly aligns with our sustainability strategy at DHL Group, whereby our aim is to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net-zero by 2050." See more stories here.

Speaking in Athlone, Per Narvinger, Sr. Vice president and Head of Business Area Cloud Software and Services at Ericsson, said: "As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of our R&D center in Athlone, we celebrate not only a significant milestone, but also the profound contributions of our dedicated workforce. Their expertise and commitment have been pivotal in advancing essential mobile technologies that power communications networks across the globe. Our ongoing R&D efforts and projects with Governments and academic institutions, including what we have announced with Enterprise Ireland and the Technical University of the Shannon today, serve as key foundations in realizing Ericsson's vision of intelligent and programmable networks." Attending the event, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment of Ireland, Peter Burke stated, "I am delighted to be here today to join in the celebrations to mark Ericsson's 50 years in Athlone. Ericsson's presence here continues to be of immense benefit to Athlone, the Midlands Region and to Ireland as a whole. There is a long-standing partnership between Ericsson, IDA Ireland and the Irish Government and regional investments such as this are a priority for both Government and IDA. The advancements made here over the last 50 years are truly amazing and it is exciting to see what unfolds in the future such as the new partnership with Enterprise Ireland and the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS). I wish the Ericsson team here in Athlone continued success in that journey." Denis Dullea, Head of Ericsson's Athlone site and Network Management Engineering Unit, added: "It is an honour for me to welcome members of Ericsson's executive team and Minister Burke to join us as we celebrate 50 years in Athlone.

CEO of IDA Ireland Michael Lohan said: Ericsson has shown consistent commitment to its Irish operations over the past 66 years in Ireland and 50 years in Athlone. Their ongoing investment and expansion in this campus have led to significant growth in their portfolio of strategic functions. Since 2000, Ericsson has invested more than €3 billion in the Athlone facility. Beyond economic contributions, each year, more than 6,000 local individuals, from junior school students to adults transitioning into technology careers, have benefited from Ericsson's presence.
