The Mayor of Clare claims it would take 25 years for Ardnacrusha's hydroelectric power station to get planning permission today due to bottlenecks in the system. An event held by Shannon Chamber at Dromoland Castle Hotel this week has heard Sixmilebridge Fianna Fáil Councillor Alan O'Callaghan criticise the pace at which major developments get over the line. It follows a recent High Court decision paving the way for a Supermacs plaza at Junction 12 off the M18 near Kilbreckan in Doora after a 10-year legal battle. Addressing guest-of-honour IDA CEO Michael Lohan, Councillor O'Callaghan says it feels as if we've "gone backwards" when it comes to planning.

One of Clare's best known tourist attractions has secured planning permission to offer something new... but for its staff and not its tourists. The Ailwee Caves will be building a staff accommodation block on site to house its workers, many of whom are very hard to attract to the area, such as Falconers and Artisan food makers. They are following in the footsteps of Atlantic Aviation Group and Supermacs, who have bought sites in Clare for their staff in recent years, due to the housing shortage. To find out more about this decision, and whether companies building accommodation for its staff will become a continuing trend, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ailwee Burren Experience & Clare ISME Rep, Nuala Mulqueeney.

He has battled through controversy over workers uniforms, and covid payments, but will a ransom demand for 2 million euro over a planning application be enough to falter his fast-food empire?

This week's show takes us from Two Stars to the Lone Star State, from Tallaght to Texas, with the confirmation of three leagues in a row for Shamrock Rovers the natural starting point. With his ears burning from repeated mentions, Pico Lopes dialled in to reflect on his central role in the Rovers rise to their 20th title, the surreal nature of winning it while sitting on the couch and a crazy year which will live long in his memory. We didn't get to ask where appearing on this pod ranked in comparison to AFCON in Cameroon, buying a house, getting engaged and turning 30. After your mailbag thoughts on playoffs, Brayoffs and Johnny's anti-Supermacs agenda, we go Stateside to check in with former Sligo Rovers midfielder Richie Ryan about a storied football life that was reignited by a slap in the face at just the right time. We also get to the bottom of the age old Vegas or Sligo debate? Tune in for the definitive answer

Paul Keogh, author of new book, The Family Business Book.Paul has an incredible CV. He was barman for Michael Smurfit (the normally reclusive businessman wrote a very positive note about the book), help launch Budweiser in Ireland for Guinness (Diageo) while it was still a Guinness family held business, headed Polygram Music in Ireland when he brought world stars like Luciano Pavarotti to these shores.He worked for the Bamford family, owners of the JCB multinational.Since 2006 he has been involved with the Mulryan family, owners of Ballymore Properties.Paul starts by telling us about the role of 'the mammy' in the family business, where she brings a wholly different dynamic to things. In his very wide experience Paul says that how fathers and mothers deal with their family in a business setting is very different, whether the mother or father run half or the whole of the business. He says the younger generation of business owners communicate much differently (and better) but his thesis still applies, he says, because the majority of businesses, worldwide, are still owned and run by that older, less communicative, generation.He says that when the father runs the business the 'children' (younger generation) go to the mother for mediation. However, when a mother runs the business the same does not apply. The next generation does not go to the father for a mediation role.He talks about the importance of gender balance, particularly at board level, because of the necessity to have both female and male perspectives for business success.Paul has a very interesting take on dyslexia in business and why dyslexics make good entrepreneurs.He has an excellent perspective for those joining a family business to consider, or whether they'd be better off in a PLC or more structured business environment.He says Sunday lunch in a family business can mean a total change in the business strategy by Monday morning, but only those who attended the family lunch might know about it.He explains how large family owned companies, like Musgraves in Ireland, deal with 'shareholder updates', and he tells us why they're important to do.Amongst many other anecdotes he talks about having to explain a negative newspaper headline to Luciano Pavarotti who thought it was great!When pressed he says the Hughes family owned Portwest is a fabulous exemplar of what a family company should be like.Paul's 'hire in a heartbeat' - footballer Roy Keane (Paul was a director of Sunderland AFC when Roy was there). He has a very interesting perspective on Roy and his future.45.00" Sean Higgines, MD of Future Proof Insights, joins TeamGBS to talk about the future of advertising, how their neuroscience based analysis (which he explains) can tell how effective advertising is. He says his 18 month old business is not so much interested in what people say (in response to an ad) but how the feel about what they see and hear - emotion being a far, far more powerful catalyst to act.We like insights on That Great Business Show and Sean gives us some very simple, but effective, ideas on what works best in SME advertising.He's pretty damning about the annual New Year press releases from creative agencies as to what the future holds, in this case Generation Z. Bunkum is one word for what he thinks of it.And in keeping with the 'family business' theme, Sean's 'hire in a heartbeat'? - Pat McDonagh, founder of Supermacs. Hosted on Acast.

Everyone loves a good underdog story. And being Irish, we wanted to focus on two cases of indigenous companies taking on big business.The first is a case of David versus Goliath - of Supermac versus BigMac. What happened when an Irish fast food chain took on one of the world’s biggest?Also, if you see a pair of sports shorts with three stripes down the side, which brand do you think they are?

Pendant le confinement, l’agriculture, jugée « secteur essentiel », a continué d’exercer. Et pourtant, les agriculteurs ne sont pas épargnés par les difficultés économiques générales. Avec la fermeture des lieux publics et la fermeture de ses marchés d’exports, le prix du bœuf irlandais a chuté. Le prix de la viande de bœuf a chuté de plus de 10 % en Irlande depuis le début du confinement, le 12 mars dernier, jusqu’à 15 % à la mi-avril. Le kilo de viande de bœuf se vend aujourd’hui à 3,40 euros. C’est la bête loi de l’offre et la demande. Avec le confinement, moins de demandes. Les éleveurs bovins ont perdu leurs clients preneurs des plus beaux morceaux : les restaurants, en particulier les chaînes de restauration rapide qui ont fermé leurs portes pour le moment. Même si la consommation dans les supermarchés est en forte hausse, les Irlandais dépensent en moyenne 122 euros de plus chaque mois, cela ne suffit pas à équilibrer, car ce sont surtout les produits non périssables et surgelés qui sont plébiscités. La particularité du bœuf irlandais c’est qu’il s’exporte énormément, à hauteur de 90 %. Or les marchés extérieurs, principalement le Royaume-Uni, l’Europe continentale et la Chine dans une moindre mesure, sont dans la même situation : restaurants fermés et faible tendance à cuisiner des pièces de viande fine chez soi. Moins de demandes, c’est aussi moins d’offres, le nombre de bovins tués a chuté de 35 % en un mois.  L'alerte des syndicats agricoles Les syndicats agricoles appellent aujourd’hui les abattoirs à ne pas tirer les prix vers le bas, sans quoi le secteur déjà précaire sombrerait, et interpellent le ministre de l’Agriculture pour qu’il pousse, à l’échelle européenne, à une aide spécifique à l’agriculture communautaire. Petite lumière au bout du tunnel : le nombre de bêtes envoyées à l’abattoir commence à repartir à la hausse, grâce à la réouverture de certaines enseignes de fast-food comme Supermacs. La chaîne de supermarchés à bas prix Lidl a également conclu un accord d’exportations de 14 millions d’euros pour le bœuf irlandais, vers les magasins européens et américains, une augmentation de 20 %.

This week John & Shane are joined by Colm Hogan, Outreach Officer for Trócaire to talk about the 2020 Trocaire Lenten Campaign.

Trócaire works with local partners to support communities in over 20 developing countries with a focus on food and resource rights, women's empowerment and humanitarian response. Colm shares with us some of the challenges facing various communities they work with in different parts of the world and how Trócaire is able to help.
