Ireland’s housing market remains one of the most pressing issues facing the country, with prices stabilising in some areas, still rising in others, and supply continuing to lag behind demand. For first-time buyers, it’s a question of access; for developers and agents, it’s a question of viability. So, where exactly are we now and what happens next?

Joining Bobby to discuss is:

• Clement Herron of Clement Herron Real Estate, Portlaoise

• Brendan McGee, Managing Director of Franklins Estate Agents in Donegal

• Michael Broderick, CEO of the First Home Scheme

Bobby is joined by EY Ireland Head of Assurance & EY Entrepreneur of the Year Partner Lead, Roger Wallace, to talk about this year’s EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.

Ciarán Casey has over three decades of senior leadership experience. His new book, ‘Leadership in Tune’, looks at the idea that leadership is more about what he calls the ‘space between people’ rather than control. He joins Bobby to discuss.

Cross-border working is a feature of many European Cities - think of Malmö’s relationship to Copenhagen or Bratislava’s relationship with Vienna. People live in one and work in the other, commuting daily. Paschal Taggart has a proposal to have Newry create something similar, where people would live there but commute to and work in Dublin. He joins Bobby to discuss.

Joining Bobby to go through the main business stories from the Saturday papers is Gina London from the Language of Leadership & Robert Whelan of Rockwell Finance.

Bobby is joined in the Executive Chair this week by Rory O’Hanlon, CEO of NetZero Group.

During the week, Bobby was at an event all about food trends called ‘Table to Tech’, organised by the Irish Food Service Alliance. There, he chatted to Simon Stenning, Food Futurist and Doug McMaster of ‘Silo’, which is a zero-waste business.
