Fuel prices, carbon tax and the wider cost-of-living crisis were to the fore at a public meeting in Moate last night, attended by people from across the country, including farmers, hauliers and business owners. The meeting was organised by those involved in April's fuel protests, with organisers warning that people could return to the roads if the Government doesn't act. Cathal O'Donoghue, of C&C Executive Travel in Clare, was at last night's meeting and was also involved in the April protests. We're going to speak to Cathal very shortly, but let's first hear from the Taoiseach, who was in Ennis on Sunday for the annual De Valera commemoration. When questioned on the possibility of further fuel protests, Micháel Martin reassured that a wide range of measures aimed at alleviating pressure on families will be announced in Budget 2027. Speaking in Ennis, Taoiseach Micháel Martin says the Government acknowledges the impact the fuel crisis has had on families. Alan Morrissey spoke with Cathal O'Donoghue to learn more.

The ECB hiked rates a second time in this cycle last week and did not suggest that the 2.50% they previously flagged as top end of neutral will be a key line in the sand. In contrast, the BoE did not hike this week, but left the door wide open to do so – maybe even before the end of 2026. Listen to Peter and Cathal as they dissect both recent meetings and provide an outlook for the rates paths going forward against a difficult energy price outlook.

The EU AI compliance deadline arrived on August 2nd and it's important that companies have been preparing for it. According to AI expert Cathal McCarthy of Kore.ai, companies that establish robust AI governance frameworks today will be better positioned to deploy AI faster in a highly regulated industry. To help leaders assess their preparedness, Cathal has developed a six-question diagnostic that evaluates the maturity of an organisation's AI governance program. The framework is designed to quickly identify whether key governance structures, accountability mechanisms, and oversight processes are in place, or where gaps still remain. I caught up with Cathal to find out more about the EU AI compliance and how businesses should prepare for it. Cathal talks about his background, AI compliance, AI adaptability, the ability to learn, AI transparency and more.More about Cathal McCarthy:Cathal is Chief Strategy Officer at Kore.ai, an enterprise AI and agentic AI platform serving Fortune 500 and PE-backed customers globally. He has twenty-five years scaling enterprise technology businesses and has held leadership roles at Apple during its growth from $8B to over $200B in revenue, and at eBay leading initiatives across 163 million users.

The Department of Education is preparing to review primary school hours for the first time in decades, with changes to the school day for younger pupils among the issues under consideration. While many parents would welcome an end to staggered collection times, others argue the focus should be on reducing pressure in the classroom rather than increasing time spent there. Chair of the Oireachtas Education Committee, Meelick Fianna Fáil TD and former teacher Cathal Crowe has been advocating for a school system inspired by the Finnish model, with more regular breaks, a streamlined curriculum and less homework. Earlier, Alan Morrissey spoke with Cathal to discuss the review and the future of primary education in Ireland. Photo (c) Monkey Business Images via Canva
In a recent episode of the Nomad Futurist Podcast, hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence welcome Cathal Quinn, CEO of MOY Roof Waterproofing System Specialists, for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about resilience, redemption, and the experiences that shape great leaders. Today, Cathal leads an industry-recognized business supporting critical infrastructure and data centers, but his journey to executive leadership was far from conventional. In a candid discussion, Cathal reflects on his early ambitions in athletics, the struggles that led him to the darkest point of his life, his battle with severe gambling addiction, and the long road of accountability, healing, and purpose that followed. Long before stepping into the business world, Cathal was a teenager driven by basketball. At just twelve years old, he was working illegal pub shifts to afford his basketball shoes, finding purpose and belonging on the court. Those early experiences shaped the values that continue to define his leadership today: accountability, resilience, teamwork, and the ability to move forward after failure. For Cathal, sports taught him an important lesson: mistakes are inevitable, but self-pity cannot be allowed to define the outcome: “When you make a mistake, don't you dare hang your head and feel sorry for yourself... There's no time for self-pity." However, Cathal's journey also brought him to an incredibly difficult chapter. After reaching what he describes as rock bottom, he found himself standing at the edge of the Cliffs of Moher, contemplating ending his life. In that moment, it was not confrontation or judgment that changed his path, but compassion from an off-duty police officer who approached him with empathy and understanding. That encounter became a defining moment in Cathal's life, reinforcing the power of human connection and the importance of meeting people where they are: “And that sentence that sticks with me to today... was probably the first time in my life that I remember an adult not being overly authoritative, and the words that I remember was, ‘You do not have to do this today.'” Following treatment and the support of a mentor who recognized his potential, Cathal began the difficult process of rebuilding his life. Years later, he returned to MOY — the company he had once left — and took on the responsibility of leading it forward. His story is not simply one of overcoming adversity, but of committing every day to becoming a better person, parent, and leader. Reflecting on his transformation, Cathal shares: “I am so proud of the person I am today. I'm so happy with who I am today... I'm doing everything in my power today to be the best version I can be of myself, and that's all I can truly do.” Cathal Quinn's story is a powerful reminder that leadership is not defined by a perfect path, but by the courage to confront challenges, learn from the past, and continue moving forward. His journey demonstrates the impact of second chances, personal accountability, and the resilience required to create meaningful change. Connect with Cathal Quinn on LinkedIn to continue the conversation and learn more about his experiences, insights, and leadership journey.

If you went back in time to an Irish village or settlement the first place you should go was surprisingly, the forge.The village forge was the ancient internet, the pub, the pharmacy, and occasionally the battlefield briefing room. It's where you would get the weekly news.The blacksmith dealt in Iron, Information and Anvils, but also Fairies, Cures and Curses. Cathal and Luke tell tales of fairy warfare, three-legged horses, magical purses, enchanted forge water and Holy Women's curses.The blacksmith's power wasn't just in his physical strength, but in his skill of sorcery. They could cure illnesses, stop bleeding with secret charms, banish rats, break curses, and even bargain with the fairy world.From ancient gods like Goibniu the divine smith to the humble village forge where neighbours gathered for stories, craic and gossip, the forge stands at the precipice between the human world and the supernatural.Video References:Hands: Powers of the Metal:https://youtu.be/jUP8W3xfezY?is=-UNtfZVcmouHvhw_Last of the Dublin Blacksmiths:https://youtu.be/FPMe73RgO4U?is=PuPwrdHsyHLyKzmTA Blacksmith Retires, Ballymahon Com Longford:https://youtu.be/uhorleq7C2s?is=HkfwStz2FILHRGkp

PRIEST HUNTERS, during Ireland's Penal Laws these were bounty hunters paid to track down Catholic priests, going from village to village looking for the rewards offered for their holy heads. Haunted houses, swarms of black beetles, priests disguised as gardeners, bloodhounds chasing clergy across the countryside, highwaymen turned heroes, and assassinations which quite literally backfire.Whilst Mass Rocks (where people worshipped in secret) are widely discussed, Cathal and Luke wanted to know more about the people they were hiding from.

Annette is in London! She and Cathal are finally in the same studio for this listener questions episode.First up, Annette's three takeaways from Cathal's conversation with behavioural scientist Leidy Klotz, author of In a Good Place. The headline: every workspace has to meet three psychological needs. Agency, growth and connection. They get into why hot-desking quietly erodes all three, the simplest confidence trick going (visit the room before a high-stakes meeting), and how to improve a workspace when no renovation budget is coming.Then a question from listener Helen, whose husband is working around the clock. She can feel them losing connection, and he keeps telling her the same thing: you don't understand, I don't have a choice. Cathal and Annette have both been close to this one, and they share practical ways to help without trying to fix.Plus: Annette's Camino de Santiago walk, two black toes and all.Next week: Roger Martin, author of Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works.Got a work dilemma for a future episode?

Most workplaces obsess over paint colours, open-plan vs closed offices, and how many days people should be back at their desks. They skip the only question that actually matters.This week Cathal sits down with Leidy Klotz, engineering professor and behavioural scientist at the University of Virginia. Leidy is the author of SUBTRACT (translated into eight languages) and his new book IN A GOOD PLACE breaks down the three psychological needs your physical surroundings either feed or starve: agency, growth, and connection.They cover:- The nursing home study where control over your space changed survival rates- Why refugees in "half-finished houses" recover faster than those given fully built homes- The boss who accidentally locked his team out of the only good conference room- What the negotiation research says about arriving 20 minutes early- The single most damaging mistake organisations make when designing workplaces- Why space is one of the only things in your life you can actually changeLeidy Klotz, PhD is a behavioural scientist and engineering professor at the University of Virginia. His research has been published in Nature and Science. Before academia he played professional soccer and designed schools in New Jersey. His new book IN A GOOD PLACE: How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive is out now.Find Leidy: leidyklotz.comNew episodes of Better at Work every Thursday, 7am GMT.

Q&A episode: Annette synthesises Wendy Smith's both/and thinking, Cathal reflects on Bob Geldof's recent speech on empathy in leadership, and we answer Lou's question on preparing for her first competency-based interview.Following last week's conversation with Wendy Smith (Both/And Thinking: Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems), Annette walks through the takeaways that stuck with her. The Fab Four: assumptions, boundaries, comfort, dynamics. The two metaphors at the heart of Wendy's framework: the tightrope walker who splits attention and chops between competing priorities, and the mule, the integrated both/and solution that's stronger than a horse and smarter than a donkey.Cathal and Annette get into why so many of us end up tightrope walking at work without meaning to. The "stop starting, start finishing" trap. The way leaders accumulate priorities until everything is urgent and nothing is finished. And why complexity, the thing most of us instinctively dread, can actually be a source of energy if you have the right framework to meet it with.Then a swerve into Bob Geldof's recent awards speech on empathy and what's gone missing in global leadership. Cathal pulls the thread: the both/and case for caring about people and running a business well. They're not in tension.The listener question this week comes from Lou, who's preparing for her first ever competency-based interview and has no idea where to start. Annette lays out the framework:→ Prepare 5 examples from your career, things you're genuinely proud of→ Cover real range: a difficult stakeholder, a deadline crunch, an unsolvable problem→ Structure each one with situation, action, outcome→ Connect each example back to your core skills and values→ Practise out loud, to camera or to a mirror, so the interview isn't the first time you've heard these words in your own voicePlus a look at what's coming next week: Leidy Klotz, author of Subtract, on his new book In a Good Place: How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive.Got a career dilemma you'd like us to tackle in a future Q&A?
