Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Byrne

Miagen, the leader in financial modelling technology solutions, has announced the launch of a solution that will help Europe's football clubs to comply with financial sustainability rules. With football clubs across Europe facing mounting financial scrutiny and risking crippling sanctions, the solution, SportsGen will help clubs to navigate their finances, protect their long-term survival and save up to €3M on wages per season. Financial sustainability rules have shaken up the world of football recently, after a number of clubs were docked points and even rendered bankrupt for falling foul of them. The rules, which mostly apply to European and English football leagues, were introduced to ensure football clubs operate within their financial means, promoting long-term financial stability and preventing reckless spending. SportsGen is a financial planning & analysis (FP&A) platform built for mid-tier and elite football clubs. Miagen estimates that that insights enabled by its software can help clubs to increase match-day revenues by up to 10%. The platform enables clubs to see missed revenue opportunities - including those relating to attendance, pricing and scheduling - so they can implement new strategies to optimise ticket sales. SportsGen's real-time financial insights are enabled by integrating live data from ticketing, sponsorships, broadcasting and merchandising. It allows clubs to model different league finishing positions, assess financial implications, and stay within spending limits to avoid harsh penalties like point deductions and relegation. With smart forecasting for wages, transfers and operational costs, SportsGen helps clubs to make informed decisions during transfer windows and remain competitive while staying compliant with financial regulations. Additionally, Miagen is already planning updates that will integrate AI-driven player valuation and scouting insights. The new solution comes on the back of Miagen's dominance in financial modelling for the world's aircraft leasing market. The Dublin-based company's financial modelling platform, LeaseGen, is now used for one in five of the global leased aircraft fleet. Brian Byrne, COO, Miagen, said: "Football is no longer just about success on the pitch; it's about sustainability off it. Clubs are making high-risk financial decisions on transfer spending, wage structures and operational costs, but often without the right tools. The stakes have never been higher, as financial miscalculations can mean relegation, massive revenue losses and even club extinction. "Football clubs are more than just businesses; many have been at the heart of communities for more than a century. They bring people together and are playing a major role in funding and supporting women's sport. Through better financial planning with SportsGen, they can make even greater progress on this work and ultimately, ensure they thrive in today's uncompromising football economy."

Clodie Duclos didn't grow up around animals in her native Normandy, apart from the family dog. And she's the only one in her family who has made a career working with animals. “But my grandfather was always interested in horses, in hunting and also going to the races,” she recalls. "He raised racing pigeons too. So maybe it came from there." She smiles at the memories. Produced by Brian Byrne for Kilcullen Diary.

Wexford and Laois help get the 2025 Leinster Senior Football Championship underway on Saturday evening when they go head-to-head at Chadwicks Wexford Park. Ahead of that game, OTB's GAA correspondent Tommy Rooney caught up with Wexford captain Liam Coleman, and his Laois counterpart Brian Byrne.

It's a time of the year when reports of dogs worrying sheep make headlines, sometimes with very distressing photographs of animals which have been savaged. Behind such images is heartbreak for the farmers concerned, and a harrowing effect on up to 60 flocks in the Kildare West Wicklow area each year. Produced by Brian Byrne for Kilcullen Diary.

The opportunity for Cross and Passion College Kilcullen students to speak in French and German with counterparts was a key part of a recent visit by student groups from Caen in Normandy and Krefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The Bönickhausen Tower doesn't have the same ring to it as the Eiffel Tower, but the best known symbol of Paris could well have been just that, if its builder's family hadn't added the name of their local mountains to their surname when they emigrated from Germany.

Miagen, the leader in financial modelling technology solutions, has announced that its LeaseGen solution is now responsible for the financial modelling of one-in-five of the global leased aircraft fleet, to a value of more than €100BN. Miagen breached the €100BN milestone following the closure of a number of new deals, which included the Florida and Dublin-based lessor, Azorra. Approximately half of the global commercial aircraft fleet is leased from lessors to airlines, ensuring more fleet flexibility for the airlines, along with less financial risk. With more than 50% of aircraft leasing companies being based in Ireland, it is a globally recognised powerhouse for the industry. The global market is expected to grow from $183BN in 2024 to $402BN by 20321. Miagen is supporting this growth with LeaseGen, a financial planning and analysis tool designed specifically for some of the world's largest aircraft leasing companies. Custom-built for each lessor, it enables them to extract the maximum value from their assets. Its success in doing so has meant that Miagen now serves approximately 30% of future orders from aviation giants Boeing and Airbus. Central to this is LeaseGen's ability to drive better financial decisions by allowing lessors to assess multiple and complicated financial scenarios for an individual aircraft, or a portfolio, quickly and easily - in a matter of minutes rather than days - ensuring they have a clear understanding of how their assets will perform over time. This, in turn, helps them to secure financing while minimising risksrelated to variables such as lease rates and interest rates. Over the last 12 months, Miagen has made significant investments in advancing LeaseGen's technology. The solution now uses automation to eliminate human error, ensuring more accurate data and analysis throughout the lifecycle of an aircraft. In addition to supporting financial modelling, this also helps to shorten time spent on data entry for financial reporting by up to 20 days, while also giving clearer insights for auditing. Brian Byrne, COO, Miagen, said: "Ireland's dominance in the aircraft leasing industry is remarkable - and growing. We are the global epicentre for leasing companies, which has been of huge benefit to our economy, as well as the accessibility of air travel. "At Miagen, we have built an invaluable tool for lessors worldwide, and we are continuing to invest in it to ensure we are giving leasing companies the smartest, most accurate insights available. Through these insights, we are supporting the growth of a €183BN global industry and playing a significant role in helping Ireland's aircraft leasing industry to grow." See more stories here.

To most of my generation, Julia Buckley was a somewhat forbidding figure, as we grew up in Kilcullen. To go in to buy a stamp, or a savings certificate, from 'Miss Buckley' was something of an adventure. As did most people in responsible positions appear to us children, she was a symbol of authority, just as much as were the teachers Miss Griffin and Paddy Byrne, or Guard Bradfield. Produced by Brian Byrne for Kilcullen Diary.

Back in the mid-1970s, people still hitched in Ireland. And those of us fortunate to be in cars frequently gave people lifts. For both parties it was something of a gamble. Of easy conversation, or not. Of possible personality clashes. Of committing to a distance or destination together that might prove to have been a mistake in as little as a minute or two into the drive. Produced by Brian Byrne for Kilcullen Diary.

Team Ireland for the 2023 UK Transplant & Dialysis Games taking place on the last weekend in July in Coventry, England, gathered in Kilcullen Community Centre for the official launch of their campaign.

Anyone born before 1977 won't have had experience of being beaten by teachers in Ireland's schools when corporal punishment was still part of a child's education. It took 60 years after we gained our independence before a patently barbaric practice inflicted on the children of our nation was outlawed, but such punishment was finally banned in 1982. Produced by Brian Byrne for Kilcullen Diary.

A singer songwriter from Kilcullen, Ireland, who is steadily forging a reputation in Spain credits much of her musical development to her music and drama teachers back here in her home town. Elle León Gallagher lives in Barcelona now, but was on a trip back to Ireland before Christmas to mark the launch of her first full album — 'Elle León, The Musical'. She was accompanied by her band, a group of friends from Barcelona with whom she has been making music for some time in venues around the Catalonian capital.

When students of Drama Dynamics School of Speech & Drama in Kilcullen brought presents to the school's owner last week, it was something more than a Christmas present for teacher.

Billy Schwer, of Luton, England, was three times Irish Juvenile Boxing Champion when he was still a schoolboy in the mid 1950s.

Produced by Brian Byrne.

Some time ago I was given a tape of a radio programme produced and presented in 1994 by Majella Duane for CKR Radio. The programme was one of a series, Home Front, produced by Majella where she talked with people in towns and villages in Carlow and Kildare to give a flavour of their communities. For the programme, Majella talked with my brother Des, Simon Doyle, Miriam's father Matt Dunlea, my Uncle Tom, and myself. Sadly I'm the only one of the five participants still around, but it has been a pleasure to hear those voices again. For having kept the tape and lending it to me, my sincere thanks to Miriam McDonnell, founder of Curragh Lawns Nursing Home. The picture is of the French team, outside the then Flanagan's Motor Bar. The team stayed in Bardon's Hotel. Kilcullen Diary Podcast produced by Brian Byrne.
