This week, we're diving into a surprising truth: airports are the most democratic spaces in society. Think about it—everyone passes through them, from business tycoons to backpackers, families returning home, and adventurers chasing the sun. In this episode, we explore what Dublin Airport, a global hub unmatched by any other city its size, reveals about Ireland's place in the world. With over 50 transatlantic flights a week and connections to places as unexpected as Nashville, Dublin Airport tells a fascinating story about how interconnected and diverse Irish society has become. Airports aren't just gateways—they're barometers of economic growth, diversity, and even innovation. Why is Ireland exporting microchips instead of machinery? And what does all this mean for a country that's striving to avoid the perils of economic monoculture? Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Leanaí tinne as Gaza in Éirinn le cóireáil leighis a chur orthu. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has confirmed that eight sick children have arrived in Ireland from Gaza for treatment in hospitals in this country. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an Aire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly go bhfuil ochtar páistí tinne tagtha go hÉirinn as Gaza le cóir leighis a chur orthu in ospidéil sa tír seo. Ireland is one of ten countries that has accepted a request from the World Health Organization to come to the aid of children from Gaza suffering from cancer, blood disorders or other serious illnesses. Tá Éire ar cheann de dheich dtír a ghlac le hiarratas ón Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte teacht i gcabhair ar leanaí as Gaza a bhfuil ailse, aicíd fola nó galar tromchúiseach eile orthu. Around 30 sick children are due to arrive in Ireland from Gaza in the next few months and the first eight were welcomed as they disembarked from a Slovak Government plane at Dublin Airport last night. Tá thart ar 30 leanbh tinn le teacht go Éirinn as Gaza as seo go ceann roinnt míonna agus cuireadh fáilte roimh an gcéad ochtar nuair a tháinig siad amach as eitleán de chuid Rialtas na Slóvaice ag Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath aréir. The children were accompanied by caregivers and siblings, and they will live with health workers who have volunteered to provide them with accommodation. In éineacht leis na páistí tháinig cúramóirí agus deartháireacha agus deirfiúracha dóibh, agus cónóidh siadsan le hoibrithe sláinte a dheonaigh lóistín a chur ar fáil dóibh. In light of its implications, the plan has been in preparation for some time by various Government Departments and the Health Service Executive in collaboration with medical professionals and the Irish Red Cross. I bhfianaise a aimpléisí atá sé, tá an plean á réiteach le tamall ag Ranna Rialtais éagsúla agus Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte i gcomhar le lucht leighis agus Cros Dhearg na hÉireann. It is understood that a medical team from Ireland went to Gaza to assess sick children and to obtain further information about their needs from their families or other caregivers. Tuigtear go ndeachaigh foireann leighis as Éirinn go Gaza le measúnú a dhéanamh ar leanaí tinne agus le tuilleadh eolais a fháil faoina gcuid riachtanas óna muintreacha nó ó dhaoine eile a thugann aire dóibh. However, children with orthopedic needs are not currently being considered due to lack of resources. Níl leanaí a bhfuil riachtanais ortaipéideacha acu á gcur san áireamh faoi láthair, áfach, de cheal acmhainne. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

The Chairperson of the Clare branch of the Vintners Federation of Ireland says it's a "joke" that Shannon Airport doesn't have adequate public transport links. It comes as a number of tourism and hospitality representative organisations are demanding that the next Government addresses the challenges being faced by their sectors. With Government formation talks progressing, those encountering difficulties in their respective industries are making their concerns known. The Vintners Federation of Ireland, the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation, the Restaurants Association of Ireland, the Irish Hotels Federation and the Licensed Vintners Association have this week outlined the challenges they're encountering and the measures they wish to see introduced over the coming Dáil term. Among their asks are for the hospitality VAT rate to be reduced to 9% and for the rising cost of business to be meaningfully addressed through sector-specific measures such as an across-the-board reduction in employers' PRSI. From January 1st, the minimum wage will rise by 80c to €13.50 per hour, and Vice-Chair of the Clare Tourism Advisory Forum Maurice Walsh, who owns Durty Nelly's in Bunratty, says this is unsustainable. Other areas the organisations are asking the next Government to address are the tourism bed capacity crisis, with 25% of this county's bed stock contracted to the Department of Integration according to the latest Fáilte Ireland figures. Additionally, the removal of the Dublin Airport passenger cap is being sought in conjunction with greater incentives to travel through regional airports. Clare VFI chair and owners of O'Dea's Pub in Ennis believes Shannon Airport isn't getting the investment it deserves and is accusing the Government of pursuing a "self-serving", Dublin-focused aviation policy.

When a taxi driver told Irish Times economics correspondent Eoin Burke-Kennedy that there was a ghost train station under Terminal 1 in Dublin Airport he was intrigued. The architects who designed the terminal in the late 1960s were smart enough to future-proof it – to incorporate into their plan a vast underground train station because, surely it wouldn't be long before a metro would connect the airport with the city centre. Their thinking was right – but they didn't reckon with Ireland's sluggish planning system and an endemic failure to plan and build. Area 14 is a metaphor for so much that is wrong with Ireland's approach to key infrastructure projects, from housing to energy supply, transport to health.Presented by Bernice Harrison.
