A family-owned managed print services provider is among the first in Ireland to reward its remote Irish workforce with digital local gift cards for their nearest town/city, locking the firm's reward spend into the country. Waterford based Cantec is using 5 local Town & City Gift Cards – the Think Waterford First Gift Card, the Love Drogheda Gift Card, the Limerick Gift Card, the Kilkenny Gift Card and the Lakes Gift Card – to reward its field based technicians who are based across Ireland. Delivered by global gift card specialist Miconex, the Town & City Gift Cards initiative is active in 16 Irish towns and cities. The cards are branded to specific places and can be redeemed with registered businesses in that town, city or region, including shops, restaurants, pubs, salons, hotels and services. Miconex announced €17.4m in local gift card sales in 2025, an increase of 65% on 2024, which it estimates will drive 335,000 specific visits to Irish high streets and shopping districts in 2026, based on estimates of 3 trips into town per gift card. Cantec invested €25,000 in digital local gift cards at Christmas 2025 tax free using the Revenue's Small Benefit Exemption scheme, and say choosing local gift cards based on where each employee lives ensures their reward spend stays in Ireland. Éadaoin Carrick is the executive chairperson of Cantec Group, and president of Waterford Chamber and said: "One of the disadvantages of the Small Benefit Exemption is that it facilitates employers gifting global gift cards that can be spent outside of Ireland. We made the decision to try and keep the spend in the local economy, and in Ireland, by choosing local gift cards for each employee based on where they live, primarily for Waterford where we are based, but also for Limerick, Kilkenny, Drogheda and Ballinrobe. "Everyone buys online occasionally but many high streets are dying because people are not walking into shops and buying things from local shops, they are buying from Amazon instead. The Christmas reward we offer for staff is a bonus outside of their regular salary, and I'd like to ensure that the bonus we give to staff stays local and on our island, benefitting people in Ireland. Choosing Town & City Gift Cards ensures our reward spend stays local." A number of chambers and business organisations have upgraded their paper 'shop local' programmes to high tech physical and digital gift cards alongside Miconex. A dedicated corporate order site allows organisations to purchase physical or digital Town & City Gift Cards for one or more of the 16 Town & City Gift Card programs in Ireland in one order, with digital cards delivered employees on a chosen date/time. Éadaoin is positive about the efficiencies that digital can offer for organisations: "The Miconex corporate site is such an easy system to use, simply selecting the local gift cards you need and the values. I specifically opted for the digital gift cards because it's handy for employees to have their card in their digital wallet, ready to tap to pay with local businesses. People will always have their phone with them, so it's a reward that is more likely to be used. "For us as an Irish business, choosing local rewards is about practicing what we preach, leading by example, and supporting Irish businesses that in return support us. We have to support each other. By choosing local gift cards, you can keep money in your hyper local community, in your region or in Ireland overall. Local people benefit when you support local economies." Colin Munro is the CEO of Miconex and said: "We introduced our digital gifting technology in Ireland in 2024 to enable organisations to easily reward their staff with local gift cards. The appetite for supporting local in Ireland is incredibly strong, as evidenced by the growth of our local gift card programmes across Ireland in 2025. As the Town & City Gift Cards network grows, what we're beginning to see is medium to large organisations like Cantec, with s...

Irland gilt als eines der freundlichsten Länder Europas.Doch hinter dem Lächeln und dem berühmten„Ah sure, it'll be grand“verbergen sich zunehmende soziale Spannungen.In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die leisen Probleme Irlands –nicht laut, nicht wütend, sondern müde, still und oft überdeckt von Humor.⸻Themen der Episode:• Wohnungs- und Mietkrise: hohe Mieten, fehlende Planbarkeit• Soziale Folgen der Wohnungsnot für junge Erwachsene• Pub-Kultur, Alkohol und mentale Gesundheit• Einsamkeit – besonders unter Männern• Wirtschaftlicher Erfolg vs. soziale Realität• Zwei-Klassen-Gefühl und stiller gesellschaftlicher Frust• Jugend, Perspektivlosigkeit und unsichtbare Ausgrenzung⸻Take-away:Irland funktioniert –aber es zahlt gerade einen hohen sozialen Preis dafür.⸻

ON THIS week's podcast, we reflect on a great day for the Cork footballers in overcoming Meath 1-23 to 1-21.The result puts John Cleary's side within touching distance of promotion to Division 1, a tier they haven't been in since 2016.It also confirmed Cork's fourth victory in succession and has them on eight points on top of the table.

Ahead of Kilkenny and Cork in the Allianz Hurling League on Sunday, Liam Kelly O'Rourke sat down with Kilkenny's Cian Kenny in The Anner Hotel in Thurles for a wide ranging chat. Over the course of the conversation, the Village man outlined how he has maturing as a hurler over the years, dealing with crticism and much more.Meanwhile, we also hear from Cork's Alan Connolly who spoke to our colleagues in GAA.ie.

As well as all that we have sit down interviews with Cian Kenny and Alan Connolly.The KCLR Hurling Podcast brought to you by Morrissey Motors Peugeot Kilkenny.

The good times keep on rolling for the Rebels, after a brilliant and nail-biting victory over Meath at Páirc Uí Rinn on Sunday.It means John Cleary's side are in pole position for promotion from Division 2, 10 years after falling out of the top flight. It was the footballers' fourth win on the bounce and against one of their rivals to go up, which could prove crucial if head-to-head standings come into play.Most importantly, it was a game in which Cork coped with the weight of expectation, in front of a crowd of over 6,000, and despite losing captain Ian Maguire to a red card in the last quarter.Now they needed a few last-ditch tackles, from Daniel O'Mahony, Seán Meehan and Luke Fahy, in the last play, to deny Meath a match-winning goal.Chris Óg Jones hit the net and led the scoring but rookie Dara Sheedy, Mark Cronin, Seán McDonnell and Steven Sherlock all chipped in as well. The Cork forward line is looking the most balanced it has for quite some time, especially when you consider Brian Hurley was injured.Cork's mettle will be fully tested up in Derry next Sunday though, as the Ulster side have been on song since a surprise loss in their opening game. They still have Kildare at home before finishing the campaign away to Tyrone and just one win could be enough to secure a top-two finish.The big thing is Cork now have genuine momentum and got the public behind them. That could be significant come championship.On the ladies football front, Cork are also unbeaten. They beat Kerry on the road and take on Waterford next weekend in a battle of the table-toppers. Emma Cleary is captaining Joe Carroll's side, who have adapted well on their return to Division 1.The hurlers had a couple of weekends off but return with a bang to start March, as Ben O'Connor's charge are away to Kilkenny and then six days later go to Limerick, who blew Tipp away in Thurles.A victory in Nowlan Park would near guarantee a league final appearance, given Cork have Offaly at home to come. It looks like Cork and Limerick are on a collision course.Now in its fourth season, every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

In this deeply illuminating episode of Dr. Lotte: Science with Soul, I sit down with Eimear Burke, Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), counselling psychologist, celebrant, and priestess dedicated to Danú. Together we explore: ✦ What Druidry truly is — beyond stereotypes ✦ The Wheel of the Year and seasonal sacred festivals ✦ The intersection of psychology and earth-based spirituality ✦ Ancient Irish myth and restoring women's voices in storytelling ✦ Ritual, ceremony, and honoring the ancestors ✦ The Druid perspective on the afterlife and reincarnation ✦ The deeper meaning of life   Eimear shares how Druidry serves not just as a spiritual path, but as a living value system rooted in reverence for nature, ethics, wisdom, service, and gratitude. This conversation weaves myth, land, ancestry, and consciousness into a powerful reminder that spirituality can be embodied, ecological, and deeply personal. If you've ever felt called to ancient wisdom traditions or wondered whether Druidry might resonate with your soul, this episode offers clarity and depth.

South East Technological University's (SETU) sixth annual Women in Technology event will bring together role models from industry and academia to challenge perceptions of technology and encourage more young women to consider careers in the sector. The event at SETU Arena in Waterford, on Thursday, 12 March, aims to grow young women's understanding of technology and demonstrate the career paths open to them in computing. Building on the success of last year's event, which welcomed over 1,000 female students from Cork, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Wexford, and Waterford, this year's programme promises to be more engaging than ever. Attendees will hear from inspirational keynote speakers who are leading the way in technology. These include Phil Healy, a two-time Irish Olympian who has successfully combined elite sport with a career as a Software Developer at Sun Life, and Likhitha Gaddi, a Software Engineer at Google. Alongside the keynote talks, the event, sponsored by Sun Life, Google, Security Risk Advisors and Nearform, will feature exhibition stands from some of the region's largest technology companies. Students will have the opportunity to interact directly with professionals working in technology, engineering, ICT, and software development, gaining insight into real-world career pathways. Amanda Freeman-Gater, Assistant Head of the Computing and Mathematics Department at SETU, believes that encouraging more women into technology is essential for the future of the sector. "The technology industry needs more women studying the wide range of technological programmes available, including those at SETU," said Ms Freeman-Gater, "Graduates can go on to build careers in dynamic technical roles that offer flexibility and the chance to work collaboratively on innovative ideas, services, and products." While there has been a recent shortfall in the number of women entering technology fields, this was not always the case, she adds. "Ada Lovelace is widely recognised as the world's first computer programmer. We must now focus on developing the next generation of female tech talent to create a more balanced and inclusive workforce. Women make up half the world's population, so it is only logical they should make up half the workforce in technology." SETU's Women in Technology event is open to second-level and third-level female students and teachers. The event will feature exhibitions, technology demonstrations, industry speakers, and information on SETU's wide range of third-level programmes, which provide pathways to exciting and rewarding careers in technology. Schools that register for SETU's Women in Technology event at SETU | Women in Technology 2026 will be entered into a draw to win a free bus to the event, while attendees will also be in with a chance to win one of six laptops.
