A Clare organisation which delivers meals to homes across the county is hopeful a funding boost will mitigate its soaring food costs. After first floating the measure in Budget 2026, the Government has announced a €2 million increase in the HSE funding allocation for Meals on Wheels organisations nationwide. Obair in Newmarket-on-Fergus brings meals to roughly 300 service users each day and has 12 vans traversing the length and breadth of the county. Eimear Murphy, who works with Obair, says it's getting more difficult to cover food bills.

This Week on the Podcast: Why So Many Homeowners Are Downsizing Right Now Have you noticed more “For Sale” signs popping up from longtime homeowners? There’s a reason. According to recent data, nearly 12,000 people are turning 65 every day, and a significant percentage are planning to retire in the next couple of years . That’s a big shift — and it’s impacting the housing market in a meaningful way. On this week’s episode, we break down: Why downsizing isn’t about “giving something up” — it’s about gaining control and simplicity The top reasons homeowners over 60 are making a move (hint: it’s lifestyle, not timing the market) How equity is making downsizing more achievable than many expect What this means for inventory heading into 2026 The average homeowner today has around $299,000 in equity — and for many longtime owners, it’s even more. That changes the conversation. If you’re thinking about what the next chapter looks like — or you’re wondering how this trend affects you as a buyer or seller — this episode is a must-listen.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses how the nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Fed could move markets.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast: The implications of Kevin Warsh's nomination as the next Fed Chair. It's Monday, February 2nd at 10 am in New York. So, let's get after it.Last Friday, President Trump officially nominated Kevin Warsh to be the next Chair of the Fed. The prevailing narrative around Warsh is fairly straightforward: he's seen as more hawkish on the size of the Fed's balance sheet, potentially more flexible on interest rates, and less comfortable with open-ended liquidity support than the current leadership. That characterization is fair, but it doesn't answer the more important question—why pick Warsh now, and what problem is this nomination trying to solve?In my view, the answer starts with markets, not politics. Over the past several months, we've witnessed parabolic moves in precious metals alongside persistent weakness in the U.S. dollar. While this administration has been very clear that a weaker dollar is not inherently a bad thing—especially as part of a broader economic rebalancing strategy—there's an important distinction between a controlled decline and a disorderly one.To understand why this matters so much, you need to zoom out. The administration is attempting to rebalance the U.S. economy across three dimensions simultaneously, all with the same ultimate goal—growing out of an enormous debt burden that's been building for more than two decades. At this point, simply cutting spending isn't realistic, economically or politically. Nominal growth is the only viable path forward.The current strategy is more supply side driven. It focuses on rebalancing trade through tariffs and a weaker dollar, shifting the economy away from over-consumption and toward investment, and addressing inequality through immigration enforcement and deregulation. The goal is to let companies—not the government—make capital allocation decisions, while boosting income through wages rather than entitlements. If it works, the result should be higher nominal growth with a healthier mix of real growth driven by productivity.Markets, to some extent, have already started to price this in. Since last spring, cyclical stocks have outperformed, market breadth has improved, and leadership has begun to rotate away from the mega-cap names that dominated the last cycle. Small and mid-cap stocks are working again too. That's exactly what you'd expect in the middle stages of a ‘hotter but shorter' expansion, my core view. At the same time, the surge in gold tells us something else is going on. Precious metals don't move like that unless investors are questioning the endgame.That's where Kevin Warsh comes in. His nomination appears designed to restore credibility around the balance sheet and slow the momentum of that skepticism. Based on Friday's price action, it worked. Gold and silver sold off sharply, the dollar strengthened modestly, and equities and rates stayed relatively stable. That combination buys time—and time is exactly what this strategy needs to work.One of the best ways to track whether markets are buying into this story is by watching the ratio of the S&P 500 to gold. It's a simple but powerful proxy for confidence in productive growth. The recent collapse was driven mostly by gold rising—and Friday's sharp reversal was mainly gold prices falling, one of the largest on record.That doesn't mean skepticism has been eliminated. Instead, it tells me the administration is paying attention and understands they need to restore confidence. If the ratio continues to recover, it will likely come first through lower gold prices and tighter liquidity expectations, and later through stronger earnings growth driven by productivity gains. That could mean near term risk for other risk assets, including equities. Bottom line, the current ‘run it hot' approach has a better chance of delivering sustainable growth than prior policy mixes—but it won't be smooth, and confidence will ebb and flow along the way. Watching how markets respond, especially through signals like gold, the dollar, and capital spending trends, will tell us whether this strategy ultimately succeeds. My view is that it's the best approach which keeps me bullish on 2026 even if the near term is more rocky.Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!
The enormous genetic influences in Kerrin McEvoy's background were obvious from a tender age. In fact the native of Streaky Bay on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, wanted to do nothing else but ride racehorses from age 9 or 10. Initially apprenticed to grandfather Bill Holland, Kerrin had a brief stint with Russell Cameron in Adelaide before seeing out his time with the legendary Hayes family. After 29 years as a professional jockey, Kerrin McEvoy boasts an amazing record- 2348 wins including 85 Gr 1's, 83 Gr 2's, 146 Gr 3's and another 160 at listed level. In five seasons overseas he won 323 races in the UK and Europe with another 40 in Dubai. The 45 year old father of four, was enjoying his job more than ever when a recent starting gate accident left him with multiple fractures in the right foot. That little hiatus has given him the time to talk to me at length on our weekly podcast, and I can't tell you how delighted I am. Kerrin begins by explaining the circumstances of the mishap and the extent of his injuries. He reveals the opinion of specialists and a likely date for his return. Kerrin agrees it was always going to be difficult to stay away from the racing game given his powerful genetic background. He talks of father Phil and uncles Darren and Tony, all jockeys early in life. Tony of course is still toasting his Caulfield/Melbourne Cup training double with Half Yours. Kerrin remembers an early apprenticeship to grandfather Bill Holland and time spent sitting on a chaff bag pretending to be a jockey. He looks back on a six month stint in Adelaide with former outstanding trainer Russell Cameron. The champion jockey talks about his transfer to Peter Hayes and the beginning of his riding career. He looks back on his first race ride and first win just a few weeks later. Kerrin says he was thrilled when sent to Melbourne as the stable's resident metropolitan apprentice. He still can't believe his luck in picking up the Melbourne Cup ride on Brew in 2000. A clever ride put him into the record books as the youngest jockey to win the Cup in 52 years. He still has trouble believing his first Gr 1 win came in Australia's most famous race. He remembers a Caulfield win that qualified him for work experience in Godolphin's state of the art Dubai stable. Kerrin believes the connection gained him the ride on Beekeeper in the 2002 Melbourne Cup. He placed third with a flawless ride and things started to happen quickly from that point on. In 2004 he gained the prestigious role of number two Godolphin jockey behind Frankie Dettori for the stable's UK and European operation. Kerrin was deeply moved when he rode the second placegetter Rule of Law in the historic English Derby at Epsom. He remembers an all the way win in England's oldest classic race on Rule Of Law. The St Leger was first run in 1776, and is four years older than the Derby. He speaks with great affection of Shamardal and Dubawi, two of Godolphin's most celebrated horses. He won Gr 1 races on both gallopers. Kerrin speaks of his disappointment when Godolphin's Blues And Royals went amiss after winning the UAE Derby. The colt was programmed to run in the Kentucky Derby but it was not to be. At this point of the interview, Kerrin talks of wife Cathy's successful riding career. He says Cathy rode regular work at Newmarket after their marriage in 2008. He speaks fondly of his second Melbourne Cup win on Almandin in 2016. He takes us through the running of the race and the great duel he had with Joie Moreira on runner up Heartbreak City. The jockey says he was delighted to win another Gr 1 on the unsound horse 17 months after the Melbourne Cup triumph. Kerrin only had to wait two years for his third Melbourne Cup victory on Cross Counter for Godolphin. He talks of the northern hemisphere three year old's strong staying performance from a wide gate. The much travelled jockey takes us through his three exciting Everest wins -two with Redzel and the third with Classique Legend. He rates the grey's Everest performance one of the best he's ever been involved with. Kerrin says he's grateful to have added a Golden Slipper win to his big race CV. He takes us back to Sepoy's dominant win in 2011, and further wins on the talented colt. The jockey was chuffed to win the 2008 Caulfield Cup on Godolphin's All the Good. He was most impressed with the stallion's staying performance. Kerrin talks of the likelihood of any of his four children following him into the racing industry. He says he regards himself as having been relatively lucky in racing accidents. Kerrin looks back on the unveiling of his bronze statue in 2022. While extremely grateful, he admits to having mixed feelings at the time. This is a laid back chat with one of the most successful jockeys of his generation.

I'm back at Olde Mother Brewing with founder Keith Marcoux to celebrate their 10th anniversary, even if we are technically a couple of months late. Keith was my very first guest on this podcast, and he's been on pretty much every year since, so it's only right that I share some big news with him.In this episode, I officially announce that Uncapped will end next year; I've decided to stop at the 10-year mark this coming October.But don't worry, we didn't get too sappy. We spent plenty of time covering:The "Dummy Tax": The expensive lessons learned over a decade of entrepreneurship.New Ventures: Keith's plans for Charlie Wells Distilling Company, a new distillery and restaurant coming to New Market (featuring sandwiches named after his kids).Throwback Stories: That time they hid the register cash in the microwave because they didn't have a safe.Truck Talk: A very long, unplanned tangent about Keith's love for old trucks versus Chris's new Bronco and the joys of going to the dump. We also discuss the new look for core beers like Hank and Impressionist and reflect on how much the industry, and our lives, have changed since we started.Cheers to 10 years, and let's make this final year count!

A private eye says he was running on pure instinct when he helped apprehend a teen accused of stabbing a shop worker over Pokémon cards in a hobby store in Auckland's Newmarket. A Hamilton 16-year-old will appear in Youth Court. Thomas James says such incidents and lower level crimes are fairly common in the area. He says it was a dangerous situation.

It's feared the centralisation of GP services in Clare could become the norm unless meaningful steps are taken. Over 900 medical card holders in Newmarket-on-Fergus were forced to switch to the Saffron and Blue Medical Clinic in Clarecastle on January 1st after the HSE failed to find a new premises in Newmarket. A Department of Health report published last July shows this county will need 41 new GPs by 2030. Newmarket-on-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin insists no one should have to travel to an urban centre to access GP care.

After becoming established in the Southeast Asian market, Chinese new-style tea brands are now turning to dig gold in the United States, looking for new opportunities.在东南亚市场站稳脚跟后,中国新式茶饮品牌正将目光投向美国市场,寻求新的发展机遇。Mixue Group opened its firstbrick-and-mortar store in the US on Saturday, marking its entry into the North American market. The store was opened in Hollywood, directly opposite the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, California.蜜雪集团于周六在美国开设首家实体门店,标志着其正式进军北美市场。该门店落户好莱坞,正对加利福尼亚州洛杉矶好莱坞星光大道上的标志性建筑TCL中国剧院。New-style tea refers to freshly prepared, healthier versions of milk tea and fruit tea.新式茶饮指的是现制现卖、更健康的奶茶和果茶。The opening of new-style tea brand stores in the US has been gaining momentum this year.今年,新式茶饮品牌在美国开设门店的势头日益强劲。On Aug 1, Heytea opened a store in Cupertino in northern California. So far, Heytea, the first Chinese new-style tea brand to explore the US market, operates 35 stores in the US, according to research institute Hongcan. This makes it the brand with the most US stores among Chinese new-style tea brands. One year ago, it had just two stores in the US, which demonstrates its rapid expansion.8月1日,喜茶在北加州库比蒂诺市开设新店。据红磡咨询数据显示,作为首个进军美国市场的中国新式茶饮品牌,喜茶目前在美国运营着35家门店,成为中国新式茶饮品牌在美国门店数量最多的品牌。一年前,喜茶在美国仅有两家门店,其扩张速度之快可见一斑。Meanwhile, Molly Tea has opened five stores in the US, while Chagee, as China's first new-style tea brand to be listed in the US, opened an outlet in the Westfield Century City mall in Los Angeles. Less than three months later, another outlet was opened in the metropolitan Los Angeles area.与此同时,茉莉奶白已在美国开设五家门店,而作为中国首个登陆美国的新式茶饮品牌,霸王茶姬在洛杉矶西田世纪城购物中心开设了首家门店。不到三个月后,该品牌又在洛杉矶大都会区开设了第二家门店。In July, Lelecha opened stores in New York and Los Angeles, continuing its business model of selling both tea and baked goods.七月,乐乐茶在纽约和洛杉矶开设门店,延续其茶饮与烘焙食品并售的经营模式。The market is responding positively.市场反应积极。For example, Heytea's outlet in Times Square in New York, which was opened at the beginning of this year, sold more than 3,500 cups of tea on the first day, and its average daily sales volume exceeded 2,000 cups, according to company data.例如,根据喜茶公司数据,今年初在纽约时代广场开业的喜茶门店开业首日就售出超过3500杯茶饮,其日均销量超过2000杯。Molly Tea's outlets are also breaking records. According to the company, the sales revenue of its outlet in New York in October 2024 surpassed $570,000, a record for Chinese new-style tea brands. The gross merchandise value of its first outlet in Los Angeles surpassed 4.19 million yuan ($595,000) in its first month, setting an overseas store record for the company.茉莉奶白的门店业绩同样屡创新高。据该公司透露,其纽约门店2024年10月销售额突破57万美元,创下中国新式茶饮品牌纪录。其首家洛杉矶门店开业首月商品交易总额突破419万元人民币(约合59.5万美元),刷新了该品牌海外门店业绩纪录。Chagee and Auntea Jenny have also proved popular in the US. On the day that Chagee opened its store in the US, it sold over 5,000 cups of tea. From May 16-18, Auntea Jenny's first store in the US, located in the Flushing neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens, recorded 3,024 orders and achieved gross merchandise value of $65,000.霸王茶姬与沪上阿姨在美国同样广受欢迎。霸王茶姬在美国开业首日售出逾5000杯茶饮。5月16日至18日,位于纽约皇后区法拉盛社区的沪上阿姨首家美国门店共计完成3024笔订单,商品总价值达6.5万美元。Facing an increasing number of Chinese new-style tea brands in the US, Jason Smith, a US netizen, said on social media platform X that he hoped American companies "are ready for some real competition".面对美国市场上日益增多的中国新式茶饮品牌,美国网友杰森·史密斯(Jason Smith)在社交平台X上发文称,希望美国企业“做好迎接真正竞争的准备”。Wang Peng, an associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said, "With the Southeast Asian market tending to be saturated, the US, with its large consumption power base, high per customer transaction rate and demand for consumption upgrade, has become a new hot spot for Chinese new-style tea brands."北京社会科学院副研究员王鹏表示:“随着东南亚市场趋于饱和,美国凭借其庞大的消费群体、高人均消费额以及消费升级需求,已成为中国新式茶饮品牌的新热点。”Zhan Junhao, founder of Fujian Huace Brand Positioning Consulting, said: "New-style tea brands opening stores in the US is an inevitable trend, as they compete fiercely in (China's) domestic market and look forincremental markets. Each brand adopts a differentiated positioning layout to adapt to the market, avoidinghomogeneous competition.福建华策品牌定位咨询创始人詹军豪表示:“新式茶饮品牌进军美国市场是必然趋势,因其在(中国)国内市场竞争激烈,需寻求增量市场。各品牌采取差异化定位布局适应市场,避免同质化竞争。”"The new-style tea market in the US is growing rapidly, and there is no dominant brand, offering a window of opportunity for Chinese brands to seize market share," Zhan said, adding that the market potential will likely attract more brands.詹军豪表示:“美国新式茶饮市场正快速扩张,目前尚未出现主导品牌,这为中国品牌抢占市场份额提供了机遇窗口。”并补充道,该市场潜力或将吸引更多品牌入局。Zhan noted that as promising as the market is, Chinese brands still face challenges when opening stores in the US. For example, high costs of staffing and rent squeeze profits, and there are cultural differences.詹军豪指出,尽管市场前景广阔,中国品牌在美国开设门店仍面临诸多挑战。例如,高昂的人力成本和租金挤压利润空间,同时还存在文化差异。Wang, the researcher, said that the brands need to adopt a long-term strategy, building core competitiveness through precise positioning, deep localization and supply chain resilience.研究员王鹏表示,品牌需要采取长期战略,通过精准定位、深度本土化及供应链韧性来构建核心竞争力。brick-and-mortar storeadj./ˌbrɪk.ənˈmɔːr.tɚ/实体门店incremental marketadj./ˌɪŋ.krəˈmen.t̬əl/增量市场homogeneousadj./ˌhoʊ.moʊˈdʒiː.ni.əs/同质化

Josh Miller and Christopher Antunes, Co-Founders and co-CEOs of 3Play Media, join SlatorPod to talk about the company's trajectory as a leading language solutions integrator (LSI) in multilingual video accessibility.The duo explains how the two met at MIT, where an early challenge from OpenCourseWare revealed that captioning thousands of technical videos was financially impossible, leading to the company's founding, where they developed proprietary tooling, leveraged AI, and incorporated expert-in-the-loop solutions.Josh describes how their platform evolved into a dual system supporting both customers and large-scale operations. Chris notes that the LSI now serves media and entertainment, higher education, e-learning, and corporate clients.Chris explains that three major trends — the European Accessibility Act (EAA), advancements in voice technology, and the rise of live events — drove their expansion into global localization. The co-CEOs detail their dubbing journey, noting rapid learning over the last 18 months and the emergence of a big mid-tier market between high-end theatrical dubbing and low-cost AI-only output.Josh explains how the EAA is pushing companies to prepare for large columns of multilingual captioning and audio description. He notes that interpretations of the law still vary, but major media firms are already investing to avoid disruption. The duo shares findings from their 2025 State of ASR Report, where they found that accuracy initially improved sharply with generative models but has now plateaued.Looking to the future, the co-CEOs are working on shifting their model to incorporate AI-generated scores and analytics, allowing customers to decide on the level of expert intervention.

The Tattersalls December Sales shape the global Thoroughbred market - and this year's renewal is one of the most important in recent memory.In this Final Furlong Tattersalls Special, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Tattersalls Associate Director of Marketing, Jason Singh, for a deep, honest, data-driven look at the market: the polarisation, the firepower, the hidden gems and the broodmares who change everything. We begin with the state of the yearling market:• why 2025 was selective but strong,• how the top end stayed fierce,• and why the middle market was deeper than many expected.Jason explains how this will feed directly into this week's breeding stock sales, and why Kentucky's intensity has already shifted buyer behaviour in Newmarket.

From there, we dive into value mares — the bargains that became stars:• Sunset Park (60,000 gns → G2 winner),• Sultanina, Sagely, Syndicate, Tidespring, Days of Summer, Zero Gravity, Icky Woo,and how the December Sale continues to produce broodmares capable of producing Royal Ascot winners, Group 1 stars, and international champions. We also tackle the high-end market:• Immortal Verse,• Quiet Reflection,• and the seven-figure mares who shape investor confidence and global trends. Jason breaks down:• what makes a mare a hidden gem,• how data, biomechanics and conformation analytics are shifting valuations,• why smaller breeders should never fear the big stage,• and which categories are currently underrated and ripe for upside.
