Dublin City Council has today launched the results of a new report examining ways to unlock investment for housing through adaptive re-use. The report responds to a central policy challenge: how to finance urgently needed housing while meeting statutory climate targets, in a context where the built environment is a major source of emissions and existing delivery models are not achieving outcomes at the required scale or pace. Adaptive re-use for housing FACE Dublin was delivered by the Centre for Public Impact (CPI) and the TransCap Initiative through a strategic research partnership commissioned by Dublin City Council and supported by the Dublin Metropolitan Climate Action Regional Office (CARO). FACE Dublin builds on work undertaken by the council over the last few years to embed circular economy and whole life carbon principles into our work. A key challenge we face as local government is investment to meet our ambition. FACE Dublin has interrogated the system that shapes the capacity of local government to deliver on housing and climate targets in a manner that is just and efficient. The recommendations emerging from FACE Dublin to enable acceleration are: Near term: Establish clear ownership for delivery and secure more flexible public funding Medium term: Work with national government to unlock scale and crowd in private and philanthropic capital Longer term: Explore new financing mechanisms to transform how adaptive reuse is funded Our built environment tells the story of the city, and we are part of its living history. Investment in regeneration is an investment in the social and cultural life of our city. The Lord Mayor of Dublin Ray McAdam said, "Addressing dereliction through regeneration is one of the most important priorities for Dublin City Council. If we are serious about meeting our housing and climate ambitions, we must unlock the potential of vacant and underused buildings across our city. FACE Dublin is a timely and welcome initiative because Dubliners want their city to be vibrant, lived in, cared for and full of possibility. My mayoral theme is Celebrating Dublin, and part of that means celebrating the buildings, streets and neighbourhoods that tell the story of who we are. We are proud of Dublin. We are proud of its past, ambitious for its present and determined about its future. By working together, we can breathe new life into buildings that hold the memories of previous generations and transform them into places of opportunity for generations yet to come." Richard Shakespeare, Chief Executive, Dublin City Council said, "The recommendations that have emerged from FACE Dublin, offer a credible route for local government in Ireland to lead on circular, low?carbon urban regeneration – demonstrating how housing delivery, climate action and place?making can reinforce one another when approached systemically." Dennis Keeley, Assistant Chief Executive, Dublin City Council said, "FACE Dublin brings a fresh and necessary perspective to rethinking how we address the dual housing and climate challenges we face as a city and a country. Applying systems innovation and systemic finance lens to understand how policies, planning, funding flows, organisational structures and incentives interact – and how they can be reshaped to unlock progress and catalyse implementation, FACE Dublin has provided a clear practical and phased approach to help make Dublin a leader in tackling vacancy and dereliction, maximising return on public and private investment to enhance Dublin's resilience as a liveable city." Gabrielle Beran, Programme Director, Centre for Public Impact said, "FACE Dublin demonstrates what is possible when a city tackles complex challenges with fresh thinking and genuine collaboration. Through engagement with more than 90 stakeholders, this work has shown the strength of Dublin's commitment to delivering housing while meeting climate goals. At the Centre for Public Impact, we work with governments around the w...

Welcome back after a short break to Bristol Unpacked, and the start of our new season running through until summer. For the first episode we welcome Yassin Mohamud, a Green councillor for Lawrence Hill, the ward that includes Barton Hill, which as well as sitting within the controversion East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood scheme was the scene of the disastrous Barton House tower block evacuation in 2023. It's a busy, diverse inner-city area where there is always plenty to keep local politicians on their toes. In the week this episode goes live Yassin will be sworn in as Bristol's Lord Mayor – the first in our city to come from the Somali community. While it's mostly a ceremonial role, he's pledged to use to bring people back together and ensure everyone feels listened to. We're keen to hear more about how his background in community work and dealing with difficult issues might help him do that. We'll also get into the importance of his identity, and how his new platform can help challenge anti-immigrant attitudes – which were amplified last year by Reform's West of England mayoral candidate Arron Banks, who accused Bristol's Somalis of being at the forefront of crime. Hope you enjoy, we'll be back again in two weeks. The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

In this episode of In Focus podcast, London's Lady Mayor Dame Susan Langley speaks with The Hindu's Maharashtra Chief of Bureau Vinaya Deshpande about her maiden visit to India, the voices she heard from the financial and insurance service industry, and the opportunities for both the countries in view of the India – UK Free Trade Agreement. She is only the third woman to hold the Lord Mayor's Office in its 837-year history, and she is the first to go by the title of Lady Mayor. She is the global ambassador for the UK's financial and professional services. The Lady Mayor's key observation is that regulation can be simplified in India. She also highlighted that there is a lack of understanding in the UK about the potential of the Indian markets. Beyond the implementation of the FTA, she thinks there is need to lead conversations about successful case studies and real stories of businesses from both the sides, to make people invest. Terming her visit to UIDAI as one of the most interesting meetings in India, she said she was impressed with India's Aadhaar roll-out. She said that though UK wants to look at a universal ID system, she was not sure if the country will follow up on Aadhaar. Batting for diversity and inclusion in the financial services, she put the onus equally on women to step up and seek challenging roles.

The City of Melbourne has recently announced an investment of over $1.2 million to develop a Little India precinct in Docklands. The project aims to create a cultural hub for the Indian community through infrastructure, public space upgrades and cultural activities. However, the plan has drawn criticism, with many voicing their opposition on social media. In response, members of the community have stepped in with efforts to bring people together, including launching a petition to promote unity. SBS Hindi spoke with Melbourne Lord Mayor Nick Reece, who shared details of the project and responded to the criticism, as well as community leader Vasan Srinivasan, who initiated the petition.

Damien is getting recognition from the Lord Mayor for his role in our rebel rebuild. He also has no fear for the future of construction roles being taken over by AI.

"I remember being a young bloke as Lord Mayor and I was almost reticent to ask my small team to do the job. I felt guilty. Over time I realised that delegating is actually giving people opportunities." In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to David Borger, Executive Director for Business Western Sydney and former NSW Politician, on Building alliances with your enemies, finding your executive courage, and championing legacy projects.

In this episode of Swapping Secrets, we explore people, policy and pleasure podcast conversations with Deputy Lord Mayor Jess Miller, unpacking the hidden history of sex-on-premises venues in Sydney and how thoughtful legislation has shaped safer adult communities. From the legacy of the Disorderly Houses Act to the Bodyline precedent, police discretion, planning reform, and the role of local councils, this conversation explores how rules and boundaries can actually create safer, more expressive spaces. The episode also draws powerful parallels between policy, consent, communication, and freedom — both inside adult venues and across society more broadly. If you've ever wondered how sex-positive spaces are protected, why policy matters, or what Sydney can teach the wider world about safety, autonomy and respect, this one's for you.

Photo credit : Steven Sim Unstoppable women. We build. We lead. We win, at Techstars Startup Weekend By Billy Linehan Techstars Startup Weekend Women Dublin 2026 took place from 20–22 March at Baseline Community in Dublin, bringing together more than 70 participants for an intensive 54-hour startup programme focused on building early-stage ideas. This was my first visit to Baseline Communities, an independent enterprise workspace in Dublin. The event was opened by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam. It followed the standard Techstars Startup Weekend format. Participants pitched ideas, formed teams, developed concepts with mentor support, and presented to a judging panel at the end of the weekend. Early-Stage Ideas Focus on Real Problems The range of ideas this year was broad but grounded in identifiable problems. Teams were working on concepts spanning electric vehicle support tools, mental health applications, ADHD support platforms, and solutions linked to local and agricultural needs. Latifat Abisola Olagoke, working on a mental wellness application, described the value of the weekend in moving from idea to execution: "I was excited for my idea to be selected and to have the chance to really flesh it out and pitch it." Dwiparna Pal, a software engineer developing a platform to connect entrepreneurs and investors, highlighted both the intensity and the energy of the format: "There's a lot I'm taking away from this, particularly what can be done within a short space of time. The energy here is very high." Mentoring and Practical Input Mentoring plays a central role in the Startup Weekend model. Structured input over a short period allows teams to test assumptions, clarify their value proposition, and improve how they communicate their ideas. In this case, teams were generally open to challenge and willing to iterate quickly. Participants also heard from experienced contributors across the ecosystem, such as leaders of female entrepreneurship initiatives including Máirín Murray of TechFoundHer, and Denise McQuaid of Awaken Angels. AI, Judging and Emerging Themes Volunteer Deirdre McCarthy observed that hackathons now face a new challenge: "All hackathons now face the AI challenge, whereby participants can produce really impressive sounding business plans and visually appealing pitch decks. The judges challenge was to delve a little deeper to determine whether the projections were realistic and could withstand some well-informed questioning." In this case, the judging panel brought experience across sustainability, design, innovation and technology, which was evident in the depth and focus of the questions. The strongest teams used this process well, demonstrating domain knowledge and adding substance beyond what was presented in their initial pitches. A number of recurring themes emerged across the weekend. Several teams addressed challenges linked to an always-on, resource-constrained environment, including burnout, ADHD support, mental and physical performance, and behavioural patterns such as impulsive spending. Others focused on structural issues such as housing constraints and overtourism. Alongside these challenges, teams also identified new opportunities, including gender-specific health approaches, support tools for electric vehicle maintenance, and personalised, AI-enabled financial services. Winning Teams Announced in Dublin The winning teams reflected a mix of technical and social problem-solving. First place went to EV Toolkit, developed by Lisa Ruttledge, Victoria Miller, Ciara Close and Claire Cui, a platform designed to support independent mechanics with the tools, data and diagnostics required to repair electric vehicles without relying on main dealerships. Second place was awarded to Buddy Bee, a peer-support platform aimed at helping adults with ADHD achieve meaningful goals through structured accountability and community support. Third place went to Spherio, an AI-driven platform offering per...

Dublin City Council yesterday launched the 2026 Crowdfund Dublin City Programme, continuing its support for community?led projects that strengthen and improve neighbourhoods across the city. The launch took place at The Mansion House, where the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam, formally opened the Spring funding round. Since the programme was first introduced in September 2023, it has received an amazing response, not only from project creators but also from the communities who have backed and supported these ideas. Dublin City Council was delighted to welcome previous project creators to this year's launch event. So far, €228,249 has been raised across 39 projects, supported by 1,869 backers. The projects have been wide?ranging — from sports equipment and community gardens to murals, art exhibitions, chef training to help people into employment, cultural and historical publications, and initiatives promoting recycling and the circular economy. Crowdfunding has offered a unique way for groups across the city to raise funds, and it has encouraged the Council to work in new and more collaborative ways. The success of the programme to date shows how powerful this approach can be for communities of all sizes. Speaking at the event, the Lord Mayor said, "The Crowdfund Dublin City Programme continues to highlight the creativity, passion and commitment that exists within communities across our city. Each year, residents and local groups come together to imagine new ways of enhancing their neighbourhoods and building community spirit." "As we launch the 2026 round, I am excited to see the ideas that will emerge—projects that reflect the values and energy of the people who call Dublin home. This programme gives communities the tools and support they need to create meaningful change." The event also featured insights from previous programme participants, Mary Fleming, Change Clothes Project, Karla Dragic, Mums Hub and Dean Hayden, Ballymun Athletics, who shared their experiences of crowdfunding and delivering successful community projects. Delivered in partnership with Spacehive, the Crowdfund Dublin City Programme supports projects of all sizes, from sustainability and biodiversity initiatives to wellbeing, cultural and public?realm improvements. No previous fundraising experience is required. Misha Dhanak, CEO of Spacehive, said, "Each year, we are inspired by the dedication of residents throughout Dublin who want to improve their local areas and bring creative, innovative ideas to life." "Spacehive is committed to helping every project creator succeed, with workshops, one?to?one guidance, and resources available throughout the process. We look forward to supporting this year's projects as they grow into impactful improvements across the city." Residents and community groups can now begin submitting ideas to the Spacehive platform, where they can attract public support and may qualify for match funding from Dublin City Council.

Smart D8, Dublin's first smart district dedicated to addressing community health and wellbeing needs and located in the heart of Dublin 8, has officially launched its sixth open call for pilot projects. Since October 2020, the Smart D8 partnership has connected innovators with citizen expertise through enterprise, healthcare, academia, government and other areas of the public sector, collectively aiming to address health and wellbeing challenges identified by the local D8 community. Now entering its sixth year, this year's call focuses on innovative pilot projects across three key themes: — Nutrition — Social Connectedness — Workplace Wellbeing Up to three pilot projects will each receive up to €10,000 in funding, but crucially will be supported to validate their innovation with real users. Those selected will have the opportunity to trial new and emerging innovations for illness prevention with a general population to measure and evaluate their population health impacts – demonstrating their potential to positively impact people's lives locally, nationally and internationally. Since its inception, Smart D8 has established strong community connections through outreach with residents, businesses, schools, local organisations and networks to understand health and wellbeing priority areas and needs. Engaging with service providers, innovators and entrepreneurs to trial and test new products, services and ideas, the partnership works to matchmake innovative content and technologies with community networks and demonstrate their impacts on population health to scale. Operating through funded pilot calls and partnerships, the Smart D8 testbed supports access to local knowledge and expertise and facilitates the development of innovative approaches that can enhance health and wellbeing with and in the local community.

Today's podcast is a first for the Voice of Insurance as this is the first time I have had an interview with a sitting Lady Mayor of London. Sue Langley or, the Right Honourable, the Lady Mayor, Dame Susan Langley, DBE, to give her her full and formal title, has worked in the insurance industry for 28 years, with senior roles at Hiscox, within the Corporation of Lloyd's and latterly as Chair of the board of Gallagher UK. I have known her for over 20 of those years and throughout that time she has always been strong, direct, completely straightforward and down to earth. So that's why it was such a pleasure to meet her in her incredibly high-profile, but often misunderstood 800-year-old role. Many of us might go our whole careers working in the City of London but remaining almost wholly ignorant of the workings of some of its most longstanding institutions. So our talk demystifies what the Lord or Lady Mayor position means in 2026 and reveals how Sue discovered the path to becoming its 697th incumbent. Ostensibly an apolitical role, nonetheless the modern Mayoralty has tremendous soft influence in the corridors of power, and as the UK's effective ambassador for Financial and Professional Services, Sue gets to travel the globe representing all of us. In this podcast we will learn what's on top of Sue's agenda for her year in post and I am sure what she says will give all the insurance practitioners listening plenty of good cheer. I am also pleased to report that holding this great office hasn't changed Sue in the slightest, in fact it is Sue who is doing a lot to make the role more relatable and relevant to our times. Sue is also a physical representation of how the past decade has witnessed the Insurance sector stand up and be counted and start to take its rightful place in the Civic affairs of the City and country in which it trades. Sue certainly won't be the last Lord or Lady Mayor to be sourced from within the Insurance community and we should take a lot of encouragement from this. So listen on to what is a really informal, enjoyable and enlightening discussion.

Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Natasha Silver Bell, Founder & CEO of SilverBell Global, a concierge provider of case management services, crisis management and intervention for individuals and families with behavioral, mental health, and addiction difficulties. Bringing over a decade of expertise in mental health, Natasha orchestrates multidisciplinary systems and teams across the US, the UK, the UAE, and beyond. A thought leader and keynote speaker, Natasha curates dialogues with leading practitioners around mental health, wellbeing, and spirituality. Recent thought leadership includes the Lord Mayor's Global Family Office Summit at Mansion House, London, and Grace Under Pressure with Sir António Horta-Osório, exploring the evolving relational complexities of generational prosperity in personal and professional realms. Natasha extends her commitment to accessible mental healthcare through her co-founding of Inservice Foundation, which supports underserved populations, and the creation of the Megan Ann Foundation, which serves sober women and survivors of intimate partner violence, prioritizing personal growth. Natasha and her firm, SilverBell Global, are Specialist Advisor members of FOX, and we are thrilled to have her expertise and thought leadership within our membership community. In her professional field, where Natasha helps clients manage and overcome serious challenges, such as mental health issues and addiction, spirituality – one's relationship with and belief in a higher power or a divine entity – is a big and important topic. We start by talking about spirituality in the context of an organized religious institution. Natasha shares her views and experience with institutional spirituality. She highlights the most common rewards and struggles people have when engaging with organized spirituality shares best practices to consider from her years of working with families and individual clients. Being part of a religious institution that is built and run by other people is not the only way to experience and nurture one's spirituality. Natasha discusses the paths people can pursue to have a spiritual life outside of an organized religion. One practical tool Natasha emphasizes in the pursuit of spirituality is story telling. She tells us how and why stories are an important pillar of any spiritual experience – especially those shared by multigenerational families. For nearly everyone, fear is always present in their relationship with a divine entity. Natasha offers her practical suggestions on how to address and overcome the fear in spiritual and religious life – outlining the alternative paths to "fear of God". Do not miss this deeply insightful conversation with one of the leading practitioners and thought leaders in the realm of spirituality and wellbeing serving UHNW families.

The only glimmer of hope is the news that Buckingham's army was dispersed by floods and he was taken prisoner. Richard tells Stanley to muster men but to leave behind his son, George, so he can be sure of Stanley's loyalty. Stanley secretly sends word to Richmond that he will come to his aid once he secures his son's safety. Richmond rallies her army outside a “A Bus Named Larry” as Richard spends the night in an empty warehouse. Both leaders sleep and dream in their separate camps. Richard is haunted by the ghosts of the people he murdered, Richmond is blessed by those same ghosts. The moment of truth arrives when Richard meets Richmond in battle the next day.
