Expleo, the global technology, engineering and consulting service provider, and Comit, the tech specialist PR and communications agency, have announced that they have won a Marketing Excellence Award at this year's Tech Excellence Awards. The companies were recognised by a judging panel of tech industry peers for their work on Expleo's Business Transformation Index (BTI). For six years, Expleo and Comit have collaborated on the BTI, an annual market study that provides insights into the business, technology and transformation plans and successes of some of Ireland's largest enterprises. The companies were recognised for the impact that the report - and accompanying PR and marketing campaign - has had on Expleo's brand profile and customer growth. Expleo and Comit were selected from a shortlist of six entries for the Marketing Excellence Award. They were announced at a prestigious awards ceremony, hosted by Mediateam, held in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire. Sorcha Cunningham, head of publishing and digital, The Sunday Times, presented the award. The sixth edition of the Business Transformation Index will launch on 12th June 2025. The report explores opportunities and challenges facing enterprises in Ireland in 2025, including economic resilience, AI, DEI, talent and cybersecurity. Siobhán Smith, global brand & communications director, Expleo, said: "When the Expleo brand was born six years ago, we identified a gap in the market for a report like the BTI. Business leaders were starved of Irish data around transformation programmes and the challenges and opportunities therein. The report's impact has grown exponentially since then, as it helps enterprises to benchmark their progress against others, share knowledge and learnings within Irish industry, while also elevating the Expleo brand. "At Expleo, we are known for being a reliable partner with bold ambitions. The BTI's success, underlined by this award, highlights how this PR and marketing campaign is positioning Expleo as a real challenger in transformation services. We are proud to celebrate its impact with the hugely talented team in Comit." Allan Chapman, managing director, Comit, said: "At Comit, we have been helping technology companies to grow for almost 30 years. This award is a testament to the impact that we have on clients' businesses and our dedication to helping them to achieve their goals. "The BTI is a standout campaign because of the trust and openness between our teams. We are constantly inspired by Expleo and their drive to lead conversations, which is what makes them such a remarkable partner. This is an award that is as much about partnership as it is about marketing excellence and I am incredibly proud of our team for their role in it." See more stories here.

Siobhán O'Grady, Ukraine Bureau Chief with The Washington Post, discusses Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning that he will respond to Ukraine's attack on Russian airfields.

Environmental law is the law relating to environmental problems – but these problems are anything but simple. Traditional legal systems weren't designed with challenges like climate change or biodiversity loss in mind, making this one of the most diverse, evolving, and demanding areas of law today.In this episode, James and Daisy are joined by Philippe Sands KC – a leading international lawyer, professor at UCL and Harvard, and author of East West Street and the recently published 38 Londres Street. Together, they explore the role of international law in protecting the environment. When did international law begin to take environmental issues seriously? Can nature itself have legal rights? What might international environmental law look like for future generations? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Financial Times (2025) – Philippe Sands argues that our planet – not just its people – should have legal rights. “Should Trees Have Standing?” by Christopher Stone (1972) – A landmark law review article that launched the idea of legal rights for nature. LSE (2024) – Analysis of climate change litigation cases in 2023, drawing on the Sabin Center's Climate Change Litigation Databases. Stop Ecocide International – Leading the movement to make ecocide a crime. Philippe helped draw up the legal definition: “Ecocide" means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.KEY CASES AND LEGAL CONCEPTS: Chernobyl – The most serious nuclear accident in history. Philippe's book, Chernobyl: Law and Communication, explores the international legal aftermath of the disaster.ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons (1996) – Paragraph 29 recognised a state's obligation to respect the global environment. A new ICJ advisory opinion on climate change is expected in 2025. Chagos Islands – Philippe has long represented Mauritius in its legal battle against the UK over the Chagos Islands. In 2023, he argued that the UN's International Telecommunication Union could deem UK-US activities there unlawful.The Gambia vs Myanmar – A landmark ICJ case against Myanmar for violating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to the Rohingya Muslims.Red Eagle vs. Colombia – A case involving Colombia's protection of the pàramos ecosystems from mining. The Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression – Proposed in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, aiming to hold individuals responsible. The proposal followed this article by Philippe.  Montreal Protocol – A successful international treaty to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – An EU carbon tariff on carbon intensive products, such as steel, cement and some electricity. The Law of Sea – Governs maritime conduct and environmental protection beyond national borders.OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) – A nonprofit focused on environmental law (founded in 1989). Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law by Ian Brownlie – A foundational text in public international law. Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane – At powerful book on the legal and imaginative rights of nature. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson – A groundbreaking book published in 1962 on the environmental harm caused by the widespread use of pesticides that reshaped environmental policy.   Bill McKibben – An American environmentalist, author, and journalist who has written extensively on the impact of global warming.Thomas Buergenthal – An Auschwitz survivor who became a judge with the UN war crimes court in The Hague. Sir Nicholas Lyell QC – An Attorney General in the John Major government and Conservative MP.Thank you for listening!

Following two group victories, Galway prepare to defend their TG4 Connacht senior ladies football title on Sunday (25th May 2025) when they meet Mayo. It's a repeat of last year's decider which saw Andrea Trill get a late winner for the Tribeswomen.  But Mayo were champions in 2023 when they ran out seven point winners. The winners will seed an All-Ireland championship group containing Donegal and Tipperary, two sides Galway beat in the league.  The runners-up must negotiate Cork and the Munster champions (Kerry or Waterford) to try and reach the quarter-finals. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Sarah Ní Loingsigh, Chellene Trill, Louise Ward, Olivia Divilly, Róisín Leonard and Lynsey Noone all come back into the Galway team for their Connacht Senior Final against Mayo. The team in full: Dearbhla Gower in goal; A full back line of Bronagh Quinn, Sarah Ní Loingsigh and captain Kate Geraghty; Hannah Noone, Nicola Ward and Chellene Trill are the half backs; Louise Ward partners Siobhán Divilly in midfield; Olivia Divilly, Kate Thompson and Ailbhe Davoren are on the '40; And an inside line of Lynsey Noone, Róisín Leonard and Kate Slevin. == Mayo have made two changes to the team that started last time out, with Ella Brennan and Saoirse Lally replacing Annie Gough and Suzanne Tuohy.  Mayo: J Gawalkiewicz; L Wallace, N O'Malley, C Durkan; S El Massry, D Caldwell (capt.), E Brennan; H Reape, C Whyte; A McDonnell, S Lally, C Doherty; E Murray, K Sullivan, S Walsh.  Throw-in at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, Castlebar on Sunday is 1pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Shortly after we recorded our episode on populism, two major developments in the UK prompted us to do this follow-up. First, former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair called for a major rethink of the UK's net zero policy. Then, the right-wing populist party Reform UK made significant gains in the English local elections.In this episode, James and Daisy talk about these events and reflect on what they might mean for climate action in the UK. Was Blair's report a missed opportunity to make a meaningful contribution? What did he get right – and where did he go wrong? And could this shift pose a threat to climate action? THE REPORT: The Climate Paradox: Why We Need to Reset Action on Climate Change (2025) – The report published by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change on 29th April 2025. SOME RESPONSES TO THE REPORT: LSE techUK Energy Transitions Commission Michael Liebreich Outrage + OptimismADDITIONAL RESOURCES:Net Zero Strategy: Build Back Greener – This strategy sets out the policies and proposals for decarbonising all sectors of the UK economy to meet its net zero target by 2050.IEA (2025) – As the Chinese economy and domestic transport sector undergo significant transformations, demand for the most widely consumed oil-based fuels – including gasoline, jet fuel and diesel – declined marginally in 2024. EVs currently account for about half of car sales in China. BBC (2025) – “Nigel Farage's Reform UK has made big gains in English local elections, cementing it as a prime challenger to Britain's traditional main parties. It won 677 of around 1,600 seats contested on Thursday across a clutch of mainly Tory-held councils last contested in 2021.”Thank you for listening!

Climate change is increasing the risk of damage from unexpected events such as extreme weather and natural disasters. While steps can be taken to reduce the risk, they can't eliminate it entirely – that's where insurance comes in. It allows people to transfer financial risk and protect themselves from financial losses. In this episode, James and Daisy discuss insurance. How is insurance changing with our changing climate? Will certain areas become uninsurable? Can the insurance industry help build a more resilient future?  SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Allianz SE (2025) – Allianz board member, Günther Thallinger, warns that the global financial system is at risk and that escalating extreme weather events could soon make some risks uninsurable. Howden & BCG (2024) – This report highlights insurance as critical to mobilising $10 trillion of committed climate transition investment.David Howden is CEO of Howden and has written extensively about the problem of the insurance protection gap. OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:AXA (2024) – In the 2024 AXA Future Risks Report, climate change is identified as the top risk for both experts and the general public in all international regions surveyed. This marks the third consecutive year that climate change has been ranked as the top global risk by AXA.World Economic Forum (2024) – “Unlike traditional insurance, parametric policies focus on the magnitude of a specific type of an event, with a simple, straightforward payout process.”Environmental Finance (2025) – An innovative wildfire insurance product offers lower premiums and deductibles as incentives for sustainable forest management. AccuWeather (2025) – Estimates total damage and economic loss from LA wildfires of between $250 billion and $275 billion. News Statesman (2025) – “California created an insurer of last resort in 1968, the California Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) plan, following a spate of brush fires and riots in the state over the decade. (An insurer of last resort is an insurance company or government entity which provides insurance for entities which are considered high risk or uninsurable).”The Loss and Damage Fund – At COP27, it was agreed to create a fund that will help low-income developing countries offset the damage from natural disasters caused by climate change.Carbon Brief (2023) – An interview with Robert Van Lierop reflecting on the three-decade journey to a loss-and-damage fund. Countries negotiated the world's first climate change treaty in 1991, which featured the word “insurance”. Thank you for listening!

Siobhán O'Grady, Ukraine bureau chief for the Washington Post

Last month, we were joined by Siobhán Hogan, who was making an important plea. The Corofin native had issued a public plea for her uilleann pipes, which were taken from her car in either Ennis, Limerick or Gort over Easter Weekend, to be returned to her. The incident had caused particular distress to Siobhán as it coincided with the death of her brother Michael who passed away at University Hospital Limerick on Good Friday after spending 16 days on a ventilator. We have good news to report on this story, as Siobhán's pipes have been returned! To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Siobhán Hogan

Clare has the third-highest rate of business closures so far this year. An analysis of data from the Companies Registration Office by business utility consultancy procure.ie has found that the Banner County has had 60.2 closures per 100,000 businesses in the first three months of 2025. A total of 77 businesses have ceased trading here since January 1st, with Dublin and Louth being the only counties with a higher closure rate. Owner of St Tola Goat Cheese and Irish Small and Medium Enterprise Association National Council member, Siobhán Ní Ghairbith, says staffing is one of the greatest challenges.

Populism is a political approach that claims to speak for “ordinary people” – those who feel ignored or left behind established elite groups. Around the world, populist movements frequently frame environmental action as elitist, out of touch with the priorities of “real people.” In this episode, James and Daisy discuss the rise of populism. What exactly is populism? How is it shaping public attitudes towards climate action? How must the climate movement adapt?  SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: ·     The New Statesman (2025) – “It's time for climate populism” – an interesting article by Caroline Lucas and Rupert Ready. Caroline Lucas, the former MP and Green Party leader, has warned that the rise of populism and the acceleration of the nature and climate emergences are becoming increasingly interlinked. ·     Yale Program on Climate Communication conducts scientific research on public climate change knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour, and the underlying factors that influence them. OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:·     Greg Jackson – The founder of Octopus Energy has said "British people support net zero, but not if bills rise. We need to reform the market urgently to maintain public backing for cutting emissions. Clean energy can be cheaper to generate, but our outdated market means consumers don't benefit. Billpayers are forking out billions to switch off wind farms on windy days while households and industry struggle with high bills - instead of enjoying cheaper energy. A modern market could save tens of billions over the next 15 years."·     The Guardian (2025) – A Channel 4 study, Gen Z: Trends, Truth and Trust, found 52% of Gen Zers thought “the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with parliament and elections”. 33% of those aged 13-27 agreed that the UK would be better off “if the army was in charge”, and 47% agreed that “the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution”.·     The Order of the Day – A book by Éric Vuillard telling the story of the pivotal meetings which took place in Germany in the run-up to World War Two. ·     The MIT Press Reader (2021) – “Populism is on the rise. From 1990 to 2018, the number of countries with populist leaders increased from four to 20.”·     Sky News (February 2025) – A YouGov poll showed Reform UK leading for the first time, topping the poll at 25%, ahead of Labour at 24% and the Conservatives at 21%.  ·     E3G (2024) – This article provides a clear overview of the politics of populism and climate action. ·     Sabin Center for Climate Change Law – This Climate Backtracker identifies steps taken by the Trump-Vance administration to scale back or wholly eliminate federal climate mitigation and adaptation measures. Thank you for listening!

University College Dublin (UCD) and Teagasc have today announced that applications are now open for the second Food and Agriculture Sustainable Technology Innovation Programme (FAST-IP) which begins this September. FAST-IP, a specialist agrifood technology innovation programme, provides participants with the skills necessary to evaluate, select and validate ideas for new products and services in the agrifood sector and to accelerate the commercialisation pathway of these ideas. Aligned with Ireland's national agrifood strategy, Food Vision 2030, FAST-IP also aims to support establishing Ireland as a leader in sustainable food systems by balancing climate-smart agriculture, environmental and economic sustainability, and innovation. Participants on the inaugural programme, which ends in August, are currently developing business plans for new market ready innovations in areas ranging from soil health, food allergens, pest control and bioeconomy. Twelve (12) places are available on the full-time, 12-month, in-person programme aimed at mid-career professionals, which is delivered by the UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering in partnership with Teagasc at the AgTechUCD Innovation Centre at UCD Lyons Farm in Co. Kildare. FAST-IP provides participants with a €38,000 tax-free scholarship during the programme. Edel Mitchell, Programme Manager, FAST-IP, said, "We are delighted to open applications for our second FAST-IP programme. This is a wonderful opportunity for mid-career professionals to embrace their entrepreneurial ambitions and develop market led solutions to real problems experienced by the global agrifood sector. The practical needs led innovation process enables participants to deep dive and forensically understand pressing challenges for the agrifood sector and build innovative solutions. If you are interested in embarking on this journey and leveraging the unparallelled access to industry experts, mentorship and cross sectoral immersive opportunities I would encourage you to apply for the FAST-IP programme." FAST-IP uses design-thinking methodologies and has a practical focus. Through the programme participants, working in teams, learn how to conduct needs-led innovation to develop market validated solutions to unmet needs in the areas of agricultural technology and food sustainability sectors. Participants also spend 8-10 weeks immersed in agricultural environments including farms, food processing companies, and Teagasc locations throughout the 12-month programme. Dr Siobhán Jordan, Head of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation, Teagasc, said, "FAST-IP aims to position Ireland as a global innovator in AgTech and food systems by fostering the creation of high-potential start-ups, scalable businesses and sustainable solutions that address challenges in areas including, climate change, food security, productivity and economic diversification. We are now seeking applications from mid-career individuals who are interested in embarking on this cutting-edge, immersive programme to create innovative, sustainable agri-food solutions with expert mentorship and entrepreneurial training by UCD and Teagasc."
