Stephen Browne, Dublin Chamber on business concerns over proposed restrictions on truck traffic through Dublin city

When newly sworn in Mayor (for a second time) Chris Amorose Groomes was 8 years old, she'd ride her bike down Sawmill Road to Tuller Fruit Farm for a delicious apple fritter on Saturday mornings.   She'd see maybe 10 or 12 cars on the long ride as Sawmill, then, was just a two-lane road.  Today, we know how busy Sawmill is and Home Depot now stands on the fruit farm property.    It's that kind of history and institutional knowledge she brings to the job along with her years on City Council. But the Mayor's family also has a steadfast dedication to City service, and it's instilled in her: her mother founded the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, helped write the original charter for the City and her father served as Dublin's Vice Mayor.    Mayor Amorose Groomes talks about that plus her vision to keep Dublin on the path for global leadership in sustainability, fiber to the home, quality of life and transportation. (hint: we're in the running for a possible major upgrade to Amtrak train service)

Dúshlán roimh an Rialtas i mBuiséad 2024. 'The Government faces a major challenge in relation to the 2024 Budget' says Finance Minister Michael McGrath. 'Tá dúshlán mór roimh an Rialtas maidir le Buiséad 2024' a deir an tAire Airgeadais Michael McGrath. The minister pointed out that it is not easy on the one hand to give the appropriate support to the people of the country and to the economy, but on the other hand to ensure that inflation does not worsen. Thug an t-aire le fios nach bhfuil sé éasca ar lámh amháin an tacaíocht chuí a thabhairt do phobal na tíre agus don eacnamíocht, ach a chinntiú ar an lámha eile nach dtéann an boilsciú in olcas. Michael McGrath was speaking at the annual Dublin Chamber of Commerce dinner last night. Bhí Michael McGrath ag labhairt ag dinnéar bliantúil Chumann Tráchtála Bhaile Átha Cliath aréir. He said that the economy of the country was generally strong and stable against anything that has gone out of order in the international markets. Dúirt sé go raibh eacnamaíocht na tíre go ginearálta láidir agus seasmhach i gcoinne aon ní atá imithe as cor ar na margaí idirnáisiúnta. The minister also referred to the strength of the labor market here. Thagair an t-aire freisin do láidreacht an mhargaidh saothair anseo.

'To that end we cannot use that money to put towards permanent expenditure' he says. 'CHuige sin ní féidir linn an t- airgead sin a úsáid le cur i dtreo an chaiteachais bhuan' a deir sé. 'The government has also set aside money which it says is for capital projects' says Michael McGrath. 'Tá airgead curtha i leataobh ag an rialtas freisin a deir sé ar mhaithe le tograi caipitiúla' a deir Michael McGrath. Two weeks from next Tuesday (October 10) the budget will be presented to the Dáil. Coicís ón Mháirt seo chugainn (10Deireadh Fómhair) a chuirfear an buiséad faoi bhráid na Dála.

According to the Dublin Chamber, almost half of the hundreds of firms that it polled require that its staff be physically in the office 2 or 3 days a week. The survey carried out with Savills found that the fear of losing staff to rivals lies behind this laissez-faire attitude to workers working from home. It also found that employers are very concerned that hybrid working stands in the way of cultivating a team culture in the workplace. Aebhric McGibney from Dublin Chamber gave his reaction to this poll to Joe.

“I think Ireland at the moment is trying to strike that balance between respecting and honoring things like the Irish language, which is coming back with a vengeance at the moment and is becoming a very trend thing to become involved with, you know, and very kind of old Irish, but then also bring forward very new elements. I would hope that that continues and that reflects and moves forward to special education provision in Ireland.” Host and Special Education Law Attorney Tracey Spencer Walsh speaks with Órla Mannion, Senior Public Affairs Executive in the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, about what it's like for children with disabilities in Ireland and their education system. Tracey's entire career has led up to this moment.

In the world of social media, what is being said about your business can make or break you. How you access these insights in a timely manner makes all the difference. In 2009, when Twitter was still relatively unknown and Instagram was not yet born, Stephen O'Leary spotted an opportunity and started to build a company to do just that – give businesses an ear to the ground on social media.“With no savings, no plan, no experience in running a business, I decided the need exists, there is a gap, I'm going to give this a go” And so Olytico was born – an online news media and social media monitoring and analysis company that aims to help people make better informed decisions. After a slow and difficult start, the company started to scale incredibly quickly in line with the popularity of social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the many others that have launched in the last decade.   In this episode of The EY CEO Outlook Podcast series, Stephen O'Leary tells host Richard Curran how he transitioned from journalism, software sales and business development, to eventually founding his own company, Olytico. They also discuss:  ·        What Elon Musk's move to buy Twitter means for the company and its users.  ·        Forthcoming regulation of social media companies and how it might change them ·        What he learned about the kind of salesperson he was, and why that led him to him start his own company.  ·        The future of anonymity and content moderation on social media platforms ·        Becoming the youngest ever president of Dublin Chamber of Commerce in 2023

In this episode of the EY CEO Outlook series, Mark Rose Burke joins host Richard Curran to share her vision for Dublin city, her views on how to most effectively drive forward the changes required, and the top priorities and challenges facing business leaders in 2021 and 2022.There has been a lot of debate in recent years about the role that large cities will play in the how we work, live and play, particularly in a post-Covid landscape. As CEO of Dublin's largest and most influential business group, representing over 1,300 companies, Mary Rose Burke has a very clear vision for how Ireland's capital city should develop in order to make it a place where businesses and residents can thrive, and visitors enjoy spending time.  Originally from Co. Galway, Mary Rose joined Dublin Chamber as CEO in 2016 and has led the organisation throughout a period of great change for business and for large cities alike.  They also discuss: ·         Mary Rose's experience and belief  in policy as a driver for real change ·         The fundamentals that make a city successful, and Dublin's unique selling points. ·         The huge potential for growth within Dublin's canal cordon. ·         Achieving the right balance of regional and Dublin-focussed development.  ·         Mary Rose's leadership approach – “The measure of a good parish priest is how many bishops he creates”.  

Imagine a city where everything you would need would be within a 15 minute walk or cycle? Dublin Chamber want to turn Dublin into a place where you would be able to access everything from a public transport hub to a green space or a decent shop, all within 15 minutes of your home. It's a concept that's been seen in places like Barcelona and Melbourne and can be adapted for smaller towns around the country. Marian O'Donnell, from Dublin Chamber, joined Dermot and Dave to explain how it would work and why Covid has shown how badly it's needed.

Mary McKenna opens up about her incredible journey over the past 23 years of building the travel business that we all know and love Tour America and Cruise Holidays. This year Mary was selected as a finalist on the EY Entrepreneur of the year program with 23 other business people. Mary expressed her tremendous pride in this achievement and discussed her relationship with her Father and how he Mentored her, before mentoring was cool or emotional intelligence was a thing, he advised his daughter to ‘find what you love’ the passion and do that. Her father passed away in her early 20’s and it forced her to grow up overnight. Mary’s sister was involved in a horrific car accident and during this time their Dad went to hospital for a procedure and tragically passed away. Mary maps this moment to the beginning of her resilience and as the knocks came in business as they do she learned to take them and get back up again and again. These blows involved 9/11 where her business took a massive hit and she was forced to let 11 staff go. She does admit to feeling sorry for herself for a few weeks. Then she decided to launch Cruise Holidays and hired 10 of the 11 back. I think the cool term for this is a ‘Pivot’Resilience is a must to survive and Mary urges us to work on the Business not in the Business. Everything is about the core values of the Company and creating the right company culture. Culture starts with the leader, be happy in your work and be kind to each other, leave moods at home. In 2012 Mary hired through JobsBridge a government scheme which was abused by other businesses, Mary reminds us that you ‘only die with your conscience’ and gave her team the freedom to be creative and to innovate. Some more knocks later more ups and downs Mary did not follow the crowd during the recession instead of making staff redundant and cutting Marketing she doubled the spend on Marketing and grew sales by 70%Finding opportunities during the recession Mary purchased an amazing premises forThe Cork Tour America branch. So much gold in this Podcast Survival instincts, a very serious car crash 50/50 chance of surviving. The Ash cloud hits the travel industry. Mentoring is a passion for Mary she is actively involved in mentoring programs. A female program called Going for Growth’ and on the Task force of Dublin Chamber. Mary has a habit of achieving her goals, she writes them down and ticks them off one by one. Today family values are top priority, the team are encouraged to work hard but not to miss out on key family events. Tour America has achieved Deloitte best managed company 9 years running. As a leader she is constantly working on inspiring her team. Her advice to her 20 year old self is to not sweat the small stuff, self care and Health are paramount to success. She compares the connections between Sport and Business on having a succession plan and talent spotting. We just had to give Mary a massive LifeForce Mentors Pat on the Back. What an amazing journey and an absolute lady, so generous and supportive of other entrepreneurs. A life changing 52 minutes from a LifeForce Mentor.

Speaking to Wednesday’s Inside Business podcast, the Limerick TD said the idea that Dublin’s cup must overflow in order for the recovery trickle down to the rest of the country has to change. However, president of the National College of Ireland and former CEO of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, Gina Quin, said it should not be a case of ‘us versus them’, but rather one of how a prosperous Dublin can drive growth in the regional economies. Later in the podcast, the panel discussed Brexit and British Prime Minister Theresa May’s triggering of article 50, beginning what are likely to be lengthy negotiations with the EU. Irish Times Business Editor Cliff Taylor took us through the timeline and what happens next, while economist Jim Power said anyone who claims to know how the talks might turn out is mad and reiterated his calls for the appointment of a Brexit minister as a matter of urgency.
