We know the government is planning a package of €9.4 billion for Budget 2026 – including €7.9 billion in additional public spending and €1.5 billion in the tax package, but is that a good idea? In the past few weeks, both IFAC - which advises the Government on fiscal matters - and the ESRI have advised the Government of the dangers of overheating the economy at a time of economic uncertainty. Joining Bobby to run through it all is economist, Dan O'Brien.

The final report of the HIQA review examining the case for a new emergency department in the Midwest is expected to be published "very shortly". The review into urgent and emergency care capacity in this region was announced by former Health Minister Stephen Donnelly in May 2024. The findings of the review were initially due to be published in May of this year but this was pushed back to September. Six days out from the close of the month, Fine Gael Minister of State John Cummins says the demand and capacity projections being prepared by the ESRI are crucial to the process.

Although less onerous than feared, the new 15% tariff regime represents a clear deterioration in Ireland's trading environment. Despite that, Irish growth as measured by Modified Domestic Demand is set to be a robust 3.8% this year but slip back to 2.9% in 2026. They are among the views in the latest quarterly economy report from the ESRI think tank, which also has a deep dive into Ireland's pharmaceutical sector whose Irish corporation tax receipts could be in jeopardy. All to discuss with Dr Conor O'Toole from the ESRI.

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has announced that broadband provider Fibrus has won a Special Achievement in GIS Award (SAG) at Esri's annual User Conference in San Diego. Fibrus was recognised for its application of Esri's ArcGIS technology to accelerate the delivery of next-generation fibre broadband to homes and businesses across Northern Ireland and Cumbria. The technology was implemented across its government backed infrastructure rollouts, including the recently completed Project Stratum in Northern Ireland and Project Gigabit in Cumbria Esri's User Conference is the world's largest GIS conference, with over 18,000 attendees. The prestigious SAG Awards celebrate organisations worldwide who have gone above and beyond in their innovative applications of Esri's technology. Using this technology, Fibrus has created streamlined and collaborative processes that have resulted in cost savings of up to €5.8 million on the rollout of fibre networks. It was selected from over 700,000 eligible customers globally. The company needed to establish more efficient and integrated digital processes for collecting, viewing, and sharing information. Esri's digital mapping technology is enabling it to control costs, scale up rapidly, achieve ambitious project milestones, and streamline processes throughout the entire lifecycle of planning, building, and maintaining the fibre networks. Real-time access to data via dedicated dashboards, wherever employees are working, is improving data accuracy and productivity for the business. To date, Fibrus has laid more than 25,000 kilometres of fibre, reaching over 440,000 homes across Northern Ireland and Cumbria, with plans for further expansion. The Esri solution is saving 500 hours per week across Fibrus, its contractors and subcontractors, due to the automation of previously manual processes. The ArcGIS-based processes initially developed for Project Stratum have subsequently been deployed across all of Fibrus' other public sector and commercial projects. Philip McLaughlin, Client Manager, Esri Ireland, said: "We are delighted to present Fibrus with this award, in recognition of its innovative application of Esri's technology. Fibrus is transforming digital infrastructure across Northern Ireland and Cumbria and its incredible work to date is a compelling example of the power of ArcGIS. This award is a testament to the dedication and determination of their entire team." Riain Garcia, Senior Manager, GIS at Fibrus, said: "We are immensely proud to receive this prestigious award. From the outset, we recognised that the scale of Project Stratum demanded innovative digital solutions. With Esri's technology, we were able to scale effectively, drive innovation, and surpass our targets. Looking ahead, we are excited to continue advancing our digital mapping capabilities across a wide range of projects and industries." See more stories here.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis at the Annunciation Catholic School as 2 children were killed as well as 18 others were injured during prayer. The shooter, Robert (Robin) Westman was a deranged transsexual who posted demonic videos about his plans. What's strange (but not surprising) is that his father worked for the CIA and the DOD for years via Esri which built CIA tracking systems that would "monitor and predict" behavior. This is similar to the technocratic system the government is trying to put in place in New York City with "precrime" monitors utilizing facial recognition. The fact that the shooter's father worked on projects that mimic past false flag psyops involving behavior monitoring, not to mention MK Ultra kind of says it all. What are the mathematical odds? To make it stranger, the father of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza was a high level executive in global finance with defense ties. The father of Aurora theater shooter James Holmes worked on creating algorithms for DARPA and major defense contractors. The Unabomber's family was tied to Cold War defense projects. The list goes on, and it goes on a lot. What are the mathematical odds of all of the above combined? As the public is demoralized, they slap us in the face with easily observable lies. Yes, a tragedy occurred. Yes, innocent children were killed. The government is the MVP of killing children. We must also understand that these attacks are often done by Manchurian like candidates who fit the bill of extreme mental illness and are easily manipulated or even drugged to commit these acts. Then, add in the SSRIs these mentally ill people are given. They're pushing us into a system of surveillance and biometrics. They want us defenseless and dependent. The WEF openly acknowledges that this is indeed the case. Then people make politics of these tragedies, demoralizing and distracting the masses from the actual agenda. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Concerns about a rise in harmful gambling among women came to the fore this week in the wake of a garda investigation into reports of online ticket fraud. Harmful gambling among females in Ireland rose tenfold between 2019 and 2023, according to the ESRI. Nicola Kelly from the Cuain Mhuire treatment centre in Athy speaks to This Week.

Most people get travel information about road closures from Google Maps, Apple Maps or a similar smartphone-based application. But when a road is closed, most transportation agencies put out a press release. And this disconnect is not only annoying—it can be a public safety hazard. So after the recent catastrophic flooding in his Southeast Wisconsin community, Dusty wants to start a conversation about how public officials can modernize the way they communicate about road closures in 2025. Because, in order to maximize the impact of potentially life-saving information, municipalities and departments of transportation need to take their message to the channels that the public actually uses. In this episode, we speak with Scott Oppmann, ArcGIS Solutions Director at Esri. Esri's ArcGIS is the leading mapping and spatial analytics software in its field, allowing organizations to leverage location-based digital insights across a wide variety of fields. And Esri's Community Maps Program and Road Closures solution helps local governments get time-sensitive travel information out to the apps that people actually use when they travel. We'll discuss the imperative for pushing live travel updates to maps apps, different methods for doing so, and why it's important to have a plan in place BEFORE an emergency strikes.

Lone parents continue to be one of the most vulnerable groups when it comes to poverty and deprivation. According to the report, 33% of children in lone-parent families were persistently deprived between 2016 and 2023. One in five were persistently at risk of poverty, meaning they lived below the income threshold two years in a row. These families are also among the most likely to experience material deprivation, going without essentials like adequate heating, proper meals, or warm clothing—not just occasionally, but consistently. Earlier, Derrick Lynch spoke with Ursula, a lone parent from Kilshanny and began by how it affects her. As we widen the lens, Derrick Lynch was also joined by Ann Marie Flanagan, a disability rights activist, to talk about another group the ESRI identifies as being at high risk: households with a working-age adult who has a disability. While the overall poverty rate has declined in recent years, the report shows that material deprivation has actually increased, especially in the wake of the pandemic. And for families where disability is a factor, the risk of persistent hardship remains high, due to extra living costs, limited employment opportunities, and gaps in support.

We are often told about the importance of Ireland weaning itself off fossil fuels and reducing our reliance on other countries to keep the lights on. However, a new report from the National Social and Economic Council suggests it isn't as simple as going renewable and reaping the benefits. Muireann Lynch, Energy Economist at the ESRI joined Jonathan Healy on the show.

A new study by the ESRI has found rural areas and disadvantaged communities were more likely to have negative attitudes towards immigration. the findings also show that rural areas with high proportions of migrants had more positive views. Do disadvantaged areas have a more negative view of immigration? Our reporter Josh Crosbie has been looking into this.

St Louis County Republican Director of Elections Rick Stream joins Michael Calhoun and explains how the election board uses geospatial technology for efficiency and election security. The county board will be celebrated with an award from Esri this summer.

The Economic and Social Research Institute has today brought out the results of research it has conducted into attitudes to immigration in both rural and urban settings. For more on this Keira Murphy is Senior Policy Officer with the ESRI and of the co-authors of this research.

People living in more disadvantaged communities had more negative attitudes towards immigration, in particular, disadvantaged communities where there was an increase in migrants since 2011. That's according to ESRI research published today. To discuss this research further was Senior Policy Officer at the ESRI and co-author of the report Keire Murphy and Dr Mike Murphy Senior Lecturer in Applied Psychology in UCC.

At the core of running an efficient, resilient power system, there's one singular need: interoperability. Do you have one place where everyone, across teams and structures, can go to get the real-time information they need when they need it? Without that, utility leaders are setting themselves up for failure to meet the rising expectations from consumers. But the good news? Maps make interoperability like second nature. And this week on The GISt, we have a step-by-step how-to for utilities that want to strengthen their collaboration. In the last of three top-notch episodes of The GISt with our partners at Esri, we're joined again by Director of Electric Utility Solutions Bill Meehan & Director of Electric Industry Solutions Pat Hohl. And these two? They're breaking down some of the coolest ways utilities are sharing information in real time—as it's happening—to avoid redundancy, become more effective across teams, and nail the three Cs of power: collaboration, coordination, and communication. This episode is brought to you by Esri. Esri is the global market leader in GIS software, location intelligence, and mapping. With Esri software you can add the power of location to modernize how you work.

ESRI's Dr Diarmaid O'Ceallaigh discusses how inducements or special offers to bet can have serious harm for gamblers.

Gambling offers such as free bets and moneyback guarantees entice people to bet more often and with more money. That's according to new research from the ESRI's Behavioural Research Unit. We discuss these findings with Dr. Shane Timmons Senior Research Officer, ESRI.

A potential upgrade to the electricity grid could cost anywhere up to 19 billion euro according to an investment plan published by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities.But will that mean anything for your bills?Muireann Lynch is Senior Research Officer for the ESRI, and she spoke with Anton earlier.Listen here.

ESRI'S Dr Conor O'Toole discusses its predictions for the Irish economy given the background of global uncertainty.

When you see relationships and patterns, you don't just take a peek at opportunities—you get a preview of risks…and a chance to get out in front of changes that need to be made. That's the power of GIS as a tool for discovery. Why? Because looking at your reality in a spatial context opens up a new world of discoverability—and that can quite literally take utilities from “I hope so” to “now I know what to do.” Creating that tapestry of high-value information can change everything for power pros. In the second of three top-notch episodes of The GISt with our partners at Esri, we're joined again by Director of Electric Utility Solutions Bill Meehan & Director of Electric Industry Solutions Pat Hohl. And these two?

A new study from the ESRI has found that while digital technology offers many benefits, it also presents growing challenges for children's wellbeing — and for parents trying to keep them safe online. The research highlights the need for coordinated efforts from parents, schools, tech companies and policymakers to address risks like overuse, harmful content, and the impact of social media and gaming. The report warns that relying too heavily on technical controls may not be enough — and that parents need better support, guidance and evidence-based solutions. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Pat Clarke Browne, Munster Business (based in Shannon).

Dr Deirdre Robertson, Senior Research Officer, ESRI, discusses a new study into online safety for children.
