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.

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? They're breaking down some of the coolest ways utilities are leveraging GIS and mapping to do better business—including how one Esri client quadrupled their asset renewal program effectiveness in just one year.

Ireland's economy continues to expand, and wages are high, but international uncertainty puts a dampener on growth. That's according to the latest ESRI Quarterly Economic Commentary and joining Ciara to explain the findings is Alan Barrett, Researcher professor with the ESRI and author of the QEC.

Barra Roantree, Director of the Masters in Economic Policy at Trinity College Dublin, joins The Hard Shoulder to discuss ESRI's latest economic outlook — including fears about a construction slowdown and rising costs related to US foreign policy moves.Where will the next economic crash come, or what form might it take?Listen here for more.

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.

Irish parents' overuse of smartphones is damaging their children's mental health, according to a new report from the ESRI. Dr. Deirdre Robertson, author of the report, told Shane Beatty on Breakfast Briefing more about the study.

The publication of the HIQA review of emergency capacity in the Midwest has been pushed back to September. The Health Minister has confirmed this week that the health watchdog's report, which will examine the case for a new emergency department in this region, is now expected to be published four months after its initial projected completion date. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill says the revised timeline is "contingent on the completion of the ESRI reports within the expected timeframe" which will include regional capacity projections. Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons while it's disappointing, there's a "chink of hope" in the rationale behind the postponement.

What do two GIS experts say when you ask them about the importance of data management for utilities? “You can't manage what you can't see.” “If the data is wrong, bad things happen.” “Without data, you have no control.” This week on The GISt, we're diving deep into GIS as a tool to address latency, remove siloes, and help utilities do less on-prem…so they can do more overall. The root of all this innovation? GIS technology. It's what pulls disparate data together so power teams can make better decisions, bridge more gaps, and find—as this week's experts put it—their “aha moment.” In the first of three top-notch episodes of The GISt with our partners at Esri, we're joined by Director of Electric Utility Solutions Bill Meehan & Director of Electric Industry Solutions Pat Hohl.

Strap in and grab your Trimble, because Episode 252 of The Geoholics takes us on a globetrotting, tech-loving, swamp-sloshing survey saga with none other than Chad Maxwell, PLS—a man who's mapped more terrain than your Roomba on espresso. We kick things off with the usual “Jake Owen sings while KG wings it” intro, followed by breaking news from the land of satellite miners, career advice from the GeoSearch crew, and an ESRI pro tip that may or may not involve chair-based motivation. Then it's time for the main event: Chad “Every Mode of Transport” Maxwell. This guy has surveyed from 200 meters in the sky to 3,000 meters under the sea, possibly while simultaneously filing expense reports and dodging alligators in a swamp buggy. He's done geomatics work inside a jet engine, which raises both safety concerns and curiosity about what his LinkedIn endorsements look like. Highlights include: A “remote-sensing-first” mindset that could make drones blush. A heartfelt plea to ditch outdated habits (we're looking at you, paper field books). A shout-out to the ASPRS standards that got more love than most people's fantasy football teams. And a lighting round that proves even surveyors enjoy filling in the blank—especially when the blank is “The future of surveying is _______.” From nuclear reactors to the Grand Canyon, Chad Maxwell proves that the future of surveying is just one swamp buggy ride away.
