Some 550 female entrepreneurs from across rural Ireland increased their collective revenue by almost €10m during their participation in the ACORNS business development programme, a new study has revealed. Now beginning its 11th cycle, ACORNS is a free initiative for early-stage female entrepreneurs based in rural Ireland. It has been running since 2014 and is funded through the Rural Innovation and Development Fund by the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine (DAFM). An analysis of the initiative by researchers at DCU Business School found that over the past ten years, the revenues of 550 ACORNS participants rose by an average of 51% during their participation in the six-month ACORNS programme. Combined end-of-cycle revenues for 550 ACORNS participants amounted to €29m, representing a total increase of €9.8m across all ten cycles of the programme. Report authors Professor Colm O'Gorman, Professor Theo Lynn and Maggie O'Gorman found that aggregate pre-cycle employment rose from 822 to 1,023 staff post-cycle, an increase of 201. They reported that 29% of participants had exporting experience following the conclusion of their participation in ACORNS. Of the 550 total past participants, some 330 entrepreneurs have continued as members of the ACORNS Community. The full report is available to view here and via the ACORNS website. Martin Heydon, Minister for Agriculture, Food, and the Marine, launched the opening of the call for applications for ACORNS 11. The deadline for applications is midnight, September 22. The programme is available to early-stage female entrepreneurs living in rural Ireland who have generated sales no earlier than the end of June 2022. There are up to 50 places available. Those wishing to apply must first register their interest via the website. They will then be sent an application by email. ACORNS 11 will run from October 2025 to April 2026 and will include six monthly round table sessions, a briefing by various development agencies and an end-of-cycle celebration. There will be no charge for those selected to participate in ACORNS 11, thanks to the continuing support of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the voluntary contribution of time by the Lead Entrepreneurs. A survey of participants from the last cycle, ACORNS 10, found that all 52 participants who completed the cycle felt closer to achieving their business ambitions following the programme and would recommend ACORNS to others. Some 90% said their participation brought about practical change within their business. Four businesses started to trade for the first time during the ACORNS 10 cycle. The combined annual turnover of the ACORNS 10 participants grew by 54%, increasing from €2.8m to €4.3m. ACORNS 10 participants employed a total of 104 staff at the end of the cycle, an increase of 15. There were eighteen participants with export experience at the end of the cycle. To date, since 2014, some 550 participants have completed a cycle of ACORNS, with more than half continuing to avail themselves of support through their membership of the ACORNS Community. The benefits of membership includes the opportunity to take part in workshops, ACORNS Plus roundtables, a Community Forum and other networking events. Each of the Lead Entrepreneurs give their time to the programme on a voluntary basis, as they believe in the philosophy of 'entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs'. This year's voluntary Lead Entrepreneurs are Alison Ritchie, Polar Ice; Caroline Reidy, The HR Suite; Eimer Hannon, Hannon Travel; Geraldine Jones, Skin Formulas; Karen Kerrigan, Kerrigan Mushrooms; Mary B Walsh, Ire Wel Pallets; and Triona MacGiolla Rí, Aró Digital Strategies. In addition, experienced businesswomen, Clare Duignan and Geraldine Kelly, who are on the Going for Growth advisory panel, will facilitate ACORNS Plus round tables for previous participants, who are committed to continuing driving forward the development of their businesses.

Schools across Pennsylvania have detected environmental hazards in their buildings — from mold to lead. That’s according to a new report. Ten Pennsylvania colleges or universities have either merged or closed since 2016, according to Higher Ed Dive, which tracks college closures and mergers nationwide. Many Pennsylvania universities are continuing to cut costs through layoffs or mergers in order to meet financial challenges. Back to school season means school buses are returning to the roads. We dive into the laws surrounding school bus safety in Pennsylvania. And now we have two deeper dives: First, Pennsylvania’s two largest school districts are weighing the same question: Can closing schools address declining enrollment and balance the budget? Both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh face aging school buildings and a myriad of school structures and sizes. But while the districts have a similar task at hand, their approach differs in one major way. And Some Pennsylvania university scientists have seen their federal funding restored after joining a lawsuit against the Trump administration. Although some of the money is flowing again, the temporary funding loss may have already done lasting damage to scientific work. Federal funding for public media has been rescinded.

There has been a worrying decline in hospitality employment. That's according to the Restaurants Association of Ireland, which represents 3,000 members across restaurants, cafés, gastropubs, and other food-led businesses. The R.A.I. is pointing to the latest Labour Force Survey figures as proof of the economic case for the Government to bring back the reduced 9% VAT rate for the hospitality sector. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) figures released by the Central Statistics Office show that, while the data for the first quarter of 2025 suggested growth, driven largely by part-time jobs, the newly published Q2 figures reveal a clear contraction. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Terry O'Connor, Co-owner of Henry's Bistro in Ennis and Frank Landy, of Sweet N Green.

In this week's episode ofThe New Stack Agents, Scott Carey, editor-in-chief of LeadDev, discussed their first AI Impact Report, which explores how engineering teams are adopting AI tools. The report shows that two-thirds of developers are actively using AI, with another 20% in pilot stages and only 2% having no plans to use AI — a group Carey finds particularly intriguing. Popular tools include Cursor (43%) and GitHub Copilot (37%), with others like OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude following, while Amazon Q and Replit lag behind.Most developers use AI for code generation, documentation, and research, but usage for DevOps tasks like testing, deployment, and IT automation remains low. Carey finds this underutilization frustrating, given AI's potential impact in these areas. The report also highlights concern for junior developers, with 54% of respondents expecting fewer future hires at that level. While many believe AI boosts productivity, some remain unsure — a sign that organizations still struggle to measure developer performance effectively.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights about the AI tool adoption: AI Adoption: Why Businesses Struggle to Move from Development to Production3 Strategies for Speeding Up AI Adoption Among DevelopersAI Everywhere: Overcoming Barriers to AdoptionJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

New economic data from the Congressional Budget Office analyzing Trump-enomics put a lie to Trump's “all new numbers” that showed a phony $2,000 increase in household income under Trump. In reality, the poorest 10 percent just got poorer any 1200 a year, including a loss in federal benefits, and the rich got richer by an eye popping $13,600 per household.

On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal published a report claiming that President Donald Trump signed a letter containing a lewd drawing and sexually suggestive text as part of a birthday album for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The Journal says it reviewed the contents of the previously unreported album and letters but has not released any of the documents. President Trump strongly denied writing the letter and, on Friday, filed a defamation lawsuit against The Journal and its owners. Separately, the Department of Justice (DOJ) asked a federal judge to unseal grand jury testimony from Epstein's sex-trafficking prosecution as part of an effort to address ongoing public interest in the case.
